One of this month's contest challenges at Hero Arts is stamp kissing and this sweet little silhouette stamp (Hero Arts F5468 Musical Walk) practically begged to be kissed! I inked it up with Tsukineko VersaMagic Tea Leaves chalk ink and "kissed" it against an uninked portion of HA S5216 Grid Pattern then stamped the silhouette on white cardstock. I really like the added interest this technique gave to the image - great way to get more mileage out of your stamps too:) The Nestie shape behind the focal image was stamped and clear embossed with HA S5433 Large Canvas Stripes then sponged with Ranger spun sugar distress ink.
Other Materials Used: Stampin' Up cs, butterfly die and designer paper, Martha Stewart photo corners, Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet flower die cut
We're
finally having warmer temps here and I was actually able to leave the house today without being bundled up like an eskimo! My dh and I are going with friends to a Boat Show in a nearby city tomorrow. We're not in the market to buy a boat (we're happy with our kayaks!) but our friends want to have dinner afterwards at a popular BBQ place. They had me at "pulled pork" - LOL! I'll probably be dreaming about it tonight :)
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!

Love everything about this card, it's so classy! Mmmmmm, BBQ!! Denny finally got to go fishing here - first time, and we've been here a month! He saw 4 dolphins, and they put on a show for him!
