Having been away I was short of time to create a card for this week - I know what I wanted to do - it wouldn't go and ended up with two of the  Mama Elephant So Breezy images so  used one for the inner of the card - below.  I would like to use water paints to create the scene to use the images - one day!!!
Once I had made the card and photographed it I realized I should have used Twine - what a Dumbo!!!  Without starting from fresh I managed to life the top black sentiment and added some Hemptique Black Twine, tied a bow and added a couple of two beads to the bow - it hardly shows but at least the twine is there!!!.

I love the scene you've created in silhouette form with just a touch of pale contrasting colors! It's beautiful both inside and out, and I never would have thought to make the grass "black" in keeping with the silhouette look, but I love it!

Linda said...

Fab card Heather, love how the design continues outside the die cut. xx

Melissa Bove said...

I love seeing how you use the tree and landscape dies to make such different designs. They make up a beautiful scene for the silhouette child with kite. I find it really beautiful!
I also think you amaze a lovely card with the LIM sketch as inspiration, another beautiful silhouette and love how the image extends out of the circle.
