Another month, another CCEE Stampers hostess. Brenda is starting her month as hostess with a technique that I rarely use -- Direct to Paper. Brenda gave us a link to the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers, which I checked out, and then decided to dive right in. I'm not sure I'm happy with the results, but it is what it is!
The heron image is actually a line image, but I colored it in with black to make the silhouette.
Why don't you pop over to the CCEE Stampers blog and see what the rest of the team did with this technique.

Fabulous card
Lois, I really do like your results. I forget that we can fill in any outline to be a silhouette. This looks fabulous. Great job!
I like your silhouette heron against those bright colors. That makes it really pop. Very pretty!!
Love your sky and the heron as a silhouette is awesome, Lois!
Uauu,beautifull and lovely card.

Lois,
Beautiful! You created wonderful colors as your BG!
Love your adapted silhouette, love your sky. Lois, I think this is beautiful - I'd be very happy with it if I'd produced it. I like the calm sunset feeling it evokes for me.
fab faux silhouette and bold and beautiful direct-to-paper results
This technique really made a beautiful background for your blue heron. Great job on filling the stamp in, it looks like a real silhouette. You are a lady of many talents.
Your DTP technique is great and works perfectly for this super image. Hugz!
