Holly came up with a new technique which is really easy...and gives a great effect. It's "Embedded Image Technique". This is the LINK to her blog for the tutorial. Thanks, Holly!
I did a brayered sky, embossed, stamped my Hero backgrounder with charcoal and embossed again. I then stamped my silhouettes with VM and black embossing powder and embossed again. I think it gives a lovely effect. The today's CAS challenge put me in the mood to do another sympathy card for my stash, but I think this card is too involved to qualify as a CAS card.
Side note.....added later: What the heck!....I saw other cards in the CAS gallery for today that incorportated this technique too. : )

Absolutely beautiful, Sallie. This image is perfect for a sympathy card. What a lovely technique!
