For our challenge, silhouettes can be black, white, metallic or any other dark colour (gray, navy, brown).
My card starts with a tissue paper watercoloured background - click HERE to see my video tutorial. I used a piece from my stash, so not sure of the ink that I used but believe it is Distress inks worn lipstick and peeled paint. I glued it onto a piece of white card stock for sturdiness. I placed a Wildflower stencil over top and sponged with Delicata Gold ink. The card front was mounted onto a base and then the sentiment banner was glued on top down the left hand side.

Great idea to use a stencil to create your silhouette - I never even thought of that! Love the soft shades of pink and green for the background, and then the gold for the stencilling.
Breathtaking, Loll, absolutely breathtaking. Those colors remind me of twilight through the trees around here. What a great idea to use that sentiment down the left side, too. I love this!! Bev
Gorgeous card, Loll! I love that you chose Delicata Gold for your Wildflower and sentiment...it works perfectly with your beautiful background!
I'm looking forward to playing along again this month :)
So pretty, Loll. Love the fact that you used gold for your silhouette. 😊 Trina xx
Such a pretty and elegant tissue paper panel, Loll! I love that your gold wild flowers almost look like melting into the background. And using a stencil for making a silhouette is a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration! Hideko
Just watched your video and enjoyed it so much. I have only done this type of technique with napkins so eager to try with tissue paper. Beautiful background for that gold embossed flower. So pretty.
Soft and so pretty, Loll ... the gold is gorgeous against that wonderful tissue paper background! Hugs, Anita :)
A beautiful creative work of art.xx [aNNie]
Oooh .... I love your gold silhouette, it looks amazing against the tissue background xx
Beautiful card! Love the pink and green with the delicata gold. Very artsy.
Such a pretty effect with the soft colours and that glorious gold x
Beautiful card with that background and silhouette, Loll.
Your card is breathtaking, Lolly! And I'm so pleased to know that silhouettes don't have to be black. That really opens up the possibilities. Now, watch, I'll prolly do a black one, but nevertheless, it's good to know! Enjoy your day! Love, Dolly
This is a gorgeous tissue paper background Loll and the delicata gold silhouette looks stunning over the top and matched so prettily with the sentiment using the same ink. A great idea to have that large sentiment running along the side too. x
I love that tissue paper background and what a great silhouette you chose. Very elegant.
What an amazing card. The colors are fantastic.
Your gold silhouette looks wonderful over your beautiful pink/green watercolor tissue background Loll - what a lovely birthday card! Julia xx
Gorgeous card, love the gold sentiment and flower. I'm definitely going to watch your video, I had a bit of a play with tissue paper this weekend and it didn't quite go to plan lol :)
hugs Kaz xx
Stunning card Loll - love your background and the wonderful gold stenciling over it.

This is so pretty. The gold is spectacular.
I love the subtle image stenciled over those gorgeous colors! I'd have never thought to stencil with gold ink. How wonderful it looks. Love the color blending on the tissue paper background too!
