Hi everyone! I'm the hostess over at Just Us Girls this week, and it's our Trend Week. I saw Jennifer McGuire do a video on silhouette stamping a while ago and thought it would be good for this trend week challenge.
I was at my LSS last week and came upon this Penny Black stamp set. I thought it would look good stamped in black, so I bought it. I wish my photo taking skills were better. This card looks so washed out, when it really isn't! I started by sponging some oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol white cardstock. I left it lighter around the manger. Then I stamped the images in Versafine onyx black. I wanted to spatter it with some copic white paint, but I didn't want it to get all over the images, so I just used a white get pen. I stamped and embossed the sentiment. Starting to get those Christmas cards done!

I love it and I am sure it's a deep black in person! Super card and fantastic challenge!
So pretty! Really love the silhouettes you used!
That is a great stamp, Lisa, and your background is glorious. The lighter color around the manger is so fitting.
What a stunning card! Those wise men images are simply amazing!
Totally beautiful and so traditional. Simply love that sky Lisa - it's amazing.
Beautiful! Great image of the 3 Wise Men and the manger. Your night sky background is absolutely perfect! Great challenge!
I love, love, love this card. I even looked up the stamp set and had to sit on my hands to keep from ordering it. It's awesome, and so is what you have done with it. Your background is gorgeous!
