Such a cool challenge Joan. I always dread stamping with silhouette stamps. Problem solved, just plaid them up! Today I used a new stamp from my sweet friend Anne RyanÂ…Â….detailsÂ…..
Used sunshine yellow for the base color, then did the lines with pine needle and barn door. Gave it a huff, just in case it was needed, then stamped it on white cs. Versa marked the un-plaid part and clear ep. BUT since the ink was still tacky it grabbed some of the clear ep. Ran it through the cb using the tiny bubbles folder.
Did some faux stitching on the edges then layered with orange textured cs that I sponged the edges with sunset orange.
Put this on a white AC card, doodled edges then added the circle, square, circle embellishments I put together for the CAS challenge ways to use polka-dots.
Well, hope you like this. A tad too white for me, but Oh WellÂ…Â…TFL :0)
Hi Sis! Glad youÂ’re home!

Now you've totally mastered this technique! The colors pop and the texture is marvelous! I'm finding that white looks awesome on cards like this! Great job!

Wow, what an original. Love this bright plaid with the white flowers in silhouette. But the best part is your doodling. You inspire me to try to incorporate doodling next card.
