Natural Pocket Silhouettes ala Zindorf

Photo Details

Poster: kab

Totally inspired by Michelle this is one of several similar cards I made.

The sky is brayered with Summer Sun and Tangerine Tango. I stamped the Nature Silhouettes on the far left and then reinked just the ground portion to extend the image across the card. I then stamped the ground portions upside down twice to make a reflective image. I also added some images from Pocket Silhouettes to fill in the image. Your eyes are not deceiving you. I did all the stamping in Basic Black but the ink pad separated and is more purple than black.

The *ground* is brayered with Kiwi Kiss. I brayered some of the cards with Baja Breeze to create a pond.

I like the black mat with the silhouette cards.

These are both absolutely beautiful! I also like the black mat, it really "pops" the focal piece.
