CCEE1323 - Direct to Paper

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.

Stamps:  Mark's Finest Papers - Marsh Birds, Marsh Silhouettes
Paper:  Mark's Finest Papers - Bang-Up Blue, Licorice Whips, Snow Storm Smooth
Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black; Tim Holtz Distress Chipped Sapphire, Tumbled Glass, Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Scattered Straw
Accessories:  Clear embossing powder, Silver pearls

    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!

    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.

    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.
