Silhouettes Layered

Last week Gina K demonstrated a few cool card on her Stamp & Chat Live. I have seen many samples from other crafters on social media the past few days and I thought I wanted to try it too.  It does not have a name, but it uses cover plates and a stamped image.  If you want to see it, check out her channel on YouTube and look for the video from Tuesday, June 6th.  

I do not have any Gina K cover plates, but I do have many of her stamps.  I love the silhouette style of stamps, so that is what I used--Autumn Silhouettes and Friendly Silhouettes.  The cover plates I used were Gina Marie Designs Funky Steel Background Plate and an Elizabeth Craft Designs Chevron Background.   Each of the plates was cut three times--once with the stamped image and then two more times from plain white to layer behind for depth.  The background is also stamped in black ink with the same image and then the cover plate is lined up over the top.  The sentiments are from one of Gina K sentiment packs and die cut with one her her sentiment strip dies.  No bling is needed!

I think these cards are fun.  I have seen other cards where there is some ink blended on the base layer for a bit of color.  I like the basic black and white combo.  Try it out for yourself!
