Silhouette Cards

I had some fun this month, just using one stencil set from A Colorful Life Designs.

It is a mask set called Marvelous Masks Deckled Rectangle Stencil. Here is the image from the website:
There are 4 stencils plus the inner 4 pieces - a total of 8 pieces. You can layer them, use them separately or together. Really fun with all kinds of ink blending, which is what I did. For all 4 cards, I used Hammermill Premium Color Copy Cover 100 lb. I did buy this for hot foiling, but found it works really well for ink blending too. But be careful with anything a bit too sticky on it, such as postage notes, etc., it can tear.
For the "Thoughts and Prayers" card shown above I used the smallest opening and moved it each time and overlapped the previous color. The Ranger Ink's Distress Oxides colors I used were: Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey and Squeezed Lemonade.
My "Thank You" card used the 3" Rectangle with Distress Oxides: Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive and Lucky Clover.
"Wishing You Well" was again with the 5" Rectangle and Distress Oxides: Spun Sugar, Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet.
Lastly, "Sending Love" used the 4" Rectangle with Distress Oxides: Salvaged Patina, Salty Ocean and Prize Ribbon.
I used Pink and Main's stamp set called Wildflower Silhouettes which I believe was in a Monthly Subscription box and no longer available. But any silhouette stamp would work perfectly with this technique. I always use Altenew's Obsidian Black Pigment Ink for I find it is the absolute darkest black. It takes a minute to dry, so be careful!
