The challenge is to create two different silhouette cards for two different occasions, using the same stamp, die, or stencil. Please make sure to take a photo of your two cards together and use that as your entry to the gallery.
Next I stamped the silhouette image and sentiment in Versamark and heat embossed in white. I love the soft colours of this card. Such a contrast to the dramatic colours above (which I love too!) :) This is a great encouragement card.

Twofer Challenge #32 - Silhouettes
I just adore that brightly coloured ink blended background on the first and then the softer tones for the smooshed background on the second, and both with that beautiful floral and foliage silhouette stamp in black/white, and two lovely sentiments too. Two brilliant cards Loll. x
ReplyDeleteYour first card sure is vibrant and an eye catching Loll x. Your second is softer and such a unique and creative background x. Both silhouette cards are beautiful and a great use of that pretty stamp x.
ReplyDeleteBoth are so striking in their own way!
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards as always Loll! x
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices, Lolly for your beautiful sponged background. Bright and Bold. Wonderful silhouette stamped flowers, stamped flowers and pen dot for your 1st beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour 2nd card with the soft colors for your smooshed, splashed and dragged Distress inks background is so artsy and beautiful for your stamped and heat embossed silhouette flowers and sentiment. TFS both your very different and beautiful silhouette cards, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Two beautiful cards using this silhouette stamp, Lolly! Love the black on the rich, vibrant colors and also the white on the soft, pastel background! So different from each other but equally beautiful!
ReplyDeleteamazing the difference with the black and white embossing, the black really pops against your colourful background and the white is so soft and subtle. Great Twofer Loll.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards Loll, love that you used the stamp to create a white and a black silhouette.. fabulous, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteHow warm and vibrant is your hello card, Loll ... a gorgeous blend of sunset colours ... so dramatic with the offset black silhouette! Your smile card is dreamy ... the white embossing is the perfect partner for the layered watercolour smooshiness of the background ...soft and lovely! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one gorgeous silhouette, Loll. It has the look of a rose bush just waiting for buds to appear. Your sunset background is so pretty, too. The top color looks like our sunrise over Lake Michigan this morning! The smooshed, splashed and dragged background has created a lovely, ethereal backdrop for that image in white. The colors are soft and beautiful. You've done it again - made incredible cards!! Love 'em both! Take care and stay safe, Bev
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast in these 2 cards! Shows such a good range of creativity. Plus the backgrounds are rich and stunning but also fairly easy to do.
ReplyDeleteThe sunset colors are so vibrant and the smooshed background is beautiful for the white embossed flower. The black flower just pops on the sunset. Two great Twofer cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo GORGEOUS cards Loll...from bright and vibrant to soft and dreamy, they both look amazing with the silhouetted images! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous twofers, Loll! The black flower silhouette pops against the beautiful sunset background. The contrast is striking and dramatic! The black dots are a nice finishing touch. The second card is artsy, soft, and dreamy. Using a few ways to color the MM paper created this fabulous background with layers of warm soft colors and splats, and I love it! The white silhouette and sentiment is a wonderful choice.

Amazing Twofer. Love the bright vibrant colours of the first design, and the smooshed background on the second looks so pretty in those soft shades xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful contrasting twofers. The bright sunset colours on the first is striking and just draws you in. For your second card, I’m surprised you used those bright colours to get such soft and delicate blend of colours. Your gorgeous smooshed backgrounds always amaze me!
ReplyDeleteWow! Bright and beautiful, and soft and subtle! Both cards are fabulous and speak volumes
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet stem image this is, so perfect for either black or white silhouettes. I love it in black against that fiery sunset you blended perfectly! And even though you got pretty darn violent with your Twofer, it ended up looking very soft and dreamy and perfect for the white silhouette! Love, Dolly
ReplyDeleteI love both these Loll. The vibrancy of the colours on the first and the lovely subtle watercolour background on the second. I have that very same stmap, I might just have to get it out and use it again xx
ReplyDeleteOh, the rich rainbow colors on your hello card -- wow! It really pops the black and it's amazing! Love, love your watercolor background on the second. Smooshed, splashed, and dragged -- I love it!
ReplyDeletetwo beautifully done cards mf.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you and yours.

Two beautiful designs for Twofer. I love them both, but the second card is closer to me both in terms of its colors and its delicacy.
