Be sure to leave a comment on each designer's posts throughout the week for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate daily from Impression Obsession.
I have two framed silhouette projects to share with you today. Girl Swing paired with Leafy Branch and Reading Silhouette paired with Flourish.
I stamped both images with black versafine and embossed with black embossing powder.
I created a double matted frame for both cards and attached them over the scenes with mounting tape.
I attached the leafy branches and flourisesh to the projects with glossy accents.
Both projects were fast and easy but so sweet.
Today's hop list!

The shiny black, especially on the pink card, is the perfect touch to finish the card.
Fabulous job using the silhouettes. Great vintage type cards.
Those silhouettes stamps are just delightful, love the vintage feel of them too…
Wow….love what you did with these images!!
Beautiful cards, as usual! How did you get the die cuts so shiny? Does the black licorice card stock come that way? Thanks!
Nice!
Beautiful, as usual!
Very pretty cards.
Hi Judith, I’m sorry that I failed to mention in my post that I had cut the dies using black cardstock and then applied versa and black embossing powder. I wanted the embellishments to match the embossed silhouettes. I also applied versa and embossed around the oval frame on the pink project.
I love silhouettes and these two cards are the best!
Love your cards! The matting is fab!!
Fabulous card!
beautiful cards love how you embossing the leaves and branch in black.
Beautiful cards

Wow! Those stamps are gorgeous, and your cards showcase them so perfectly!
Beautiful cards! I love the addition of the die cut pieces to embellish the cards…. adds a fun bit of dimension!
Silhouette cards to me are so nostalgic. Both cards have a very tender “feel” to them. I took my time soaking in all that they were about.
I really like the little girl on the swing, but both cards are very nice.
