Boy and girl silhouette...

I really love this silhouette image of a girl and a boy on a bike - it's a tiny stamp from Jessica Lynn Originals, but one I am really fond of. I need some tiny cards to send out 'just because' and this is my first one.

To create the background I stippled Adirondack ink through a circular cut out in various shades and then removed the mask and stamped the image using black Versefine ink (my all time favourite).

The challenge at Wednesday Stamper this week is silhouettes so my card is perfect for that challenge and I'm also going to enter it for Cynthia's challenge at the Rainbow Lady Challenge Blog where the theme is 'People'.

My people may be small ones, but I'm sure Cynthia won't mind once she gets over the shock of me getting my card done so early!!

Fabulous technique Ann and a super result. The black versafine is one of my favourite ink pads.
Good idea to build up a wee collection of 'Just Because' cards ... why didn't I think of it?

Luv'n'Stuff
