How to Create a Silhouette Card: Day to Night Scene in Minutes!

 


Ever wonder how to create a night scene card with people in silhouette? It's much easier than you think! 

Get out your Stampin' Write Basic Black marker and get ready to do some simple coloring! 

CARD MEASUREMENTS:

  • 4-1/4 x 11 - score at 5-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock)
  • Basic White Layer: 4 x 5-1/4"
  • Gingham Cottage DSP Layer: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2"
  • Banner Sentiment (size depends on sentiment)
INSTRUCTIONS:

Silhouette Card:

Stamp family in Memento Black ink about an inch from the bottom of the Basic White Layer.

Draw a line to create the ground they are standing on. You will color in the family and color in the ground beneath their feet with the Stampin' Write Marker in Basic Black.

With the Blending Brushes, you will add Orchid Oasis first all over the layer, darker at the top and around the edges. Lighter hand around the family. Add Starry Sky at the top and around the edges. Blend.

Stamp trees in Memento Tuxedo Black ink across the layer until there are 5 trees above the family. Color with Stampin' Blend Evening Evergreen Light.

Stamp strand of lights twice, once in each top corner. Add iridescent rhinestones as the light bulbs for a sparkly blingy look!

Stamp "From All of Us" on a 1/2 strip of Basic White Cardstock, trim down and punch banner edges with Banners Pick a Punch. Place on mini dimensionals and place under family.

Glue DSP panel to card base. It will cover the entire card front. Glue your night scene to DSP.

Day Scene Card:

The stamping layout is the same. Here is the Stampin' Blends list:
  • Trees - Soft Succulent Dark
  • Lights - Daffodil Delight Dark
  • Snow - Smoky Slate Light
  • Small Boy - Tahitian Tide Jacket, Smoky Slate Pants, Evening Evergreen Accessories
  • Mom - Sweet Sorbet Jacket, Starry Sky pants, Soft Suede Hair, Pool Party bag
  • Large Boy - Evening Evergreen Combo with Smoky Slate
