Oh my, must I choose just one??!!😵💫🤣🤣 The way you integrated a bit of gold onto the sentiment with the original one really made it pop for me. I have never seen the reverse silhouette technique before, I liked that there seemed to be a bit of texture to your die cuts. Small detail, but those are often the things that make a card special! Thanks for the terrific inspirations!!🧑🏼🎨😀👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Mari! My trip really inspired me. 😊. I’m walking around DC - thinking to myself….oooh, I could use Victorian Velvet, Antique Linen, and Gold to create something from this building built in the 1700s 😂. Yes, the details really make the art!
I’m so happy to see someone else uses up the extra ink on the mat and not just wipe off. I’m frugal also. And great to have those panels handy. I do write the ink colors on the back.
I note not only the ink colours but the materials used for a card's main elements - cardstock, dies, stamps etc. I do it by photographing the completed card, put it into a computer folder, and add pics (mine or the manufacturer's) of the items which'll usually also include the colour name. Helps avoid sending the same main element to a giftee. But had to start doing it due to increasingly poor memory! To avoid wasting cardstock I keep scraps on my craft desk in a magazine holder *right in my line of sight* so they're the first thing I see when I start a project; before that I kept forgetting to use them. Again, it's a memory problem.
Right there with you in regards to memory. I use a small drawer system labeled by color for my scraps. It stays off my desk in a closet otherwise it would be a mess.
I’m really confused. This video was 98% REGULAR silhouette and 2% “reversed silhouette .” Doesn’t make sense at all. Not trying to be negative, but I watched the entire video - as you requested - then rewound it to be sure I didn’t miss something. I watched bc I was looking forward to a new idea. But, you only detailed the regular OLD idea. 🤷♀️
Abby the idea is to get you thinking outside the box. The silhouette technique in itself is solid stamping and die cutting. Most people cannot look at something and see it in other colors. By showcasing what you know and duplicating it in another color, gives people the ability to see it in another light. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@villagecardandcrafts okaaaaay. I’ll say I disagree with you on this. I believe I’m intelligent enough to grasp new crafting ideas. And I believe most others interested in crafting are as well. But I understand you feel I’m ignorant, so I’ll just move along. Hope you got what you needed.
I did the twilight tour in DC a few years ago also. It was beautiful. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. This is my first time watching your channel. I am now a subscriber.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create this card, and I really really love ❤️ the white version best. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
You have great ideas and your videos are very easy to understand. Just found your channel a few days ago. How do you clean your stamps after using Versafine Ink. Thank you for sharing tips..
Thank you! I simply use water and a Aquadry cloth found in the automobile section of the store. It’s far cheaper than anything craft related and as far as I can tell, it’s the same stuff. The cloth is one of those super absorbent quick dry cloths you use to dry your car after a wash. I just cut it down and it becomes my scrubby! 😊
Me either. See my comment above….and her reply. I’m sincerely asking a question here, but apparently she thinks crafters are too stupid to understand her. 🤷♀️
I was playing with light sources. In a silhouette, the light source is behind the object giving it a dark appearance. In my reverse, I imagined the light source being in front…casting the object in a white light. My picture of the Washington Memorial presents it as a light object due to the light source. The last card, being in white, is the reversed light source. I presented it as a regular silhouette since that is what most people refer to, but then I showed it as the same card in white (without the sentiment) . I hope this further explains my thought process.
