Engagement card

The Less Is More challenge this week is to use silhouette images.  Love 'em!  This card also covers the criteria for the All Sorts blog challenge this week - a one layer card.  Take a look at both these galleries for wonderful inspiration.
A super quick card done by cutting a rectangle from acetate and swiping the interior panel with cotton balls and chalks, then stamping the images.  The sentiment was computer generated first to get the correct alignment for the colored panel.  I love making backgrounds with chalks and cotton balls as the errors are easily removed with an ordinary eraser!  Easy peasy stuff!

    It may be easy peasy, Tilly, but it's a lovely effect and, from the photos I've seen, very Kiwi, lol. Lovely card, but that's no surprise from you xxx

    Tilly this is such a wonderful card I know it is for an engagement and probably a young couple but it also brings memories of walking along a beautiful beach in North Devon, England when I was newly engaged many years ago (I am a Scot my Hubby English :) ) to be honest I would be so happy to have this on my wall in my craft room because it evokes so many happy memories! A gorgeous gorgeous card just love it!
