There’s a technique I quite enjoy doing and that’s stamping onto patterned paper.  I love silhouette stamps because I find them really versatile and this is just one technique that I like doing with them.  If you have any silhouette stamps give it a go

It’s so easy, I just stamped straight onto the patterned paper with black ink.

Technique Tip: If stamping in black is a bit stark for you, you might want to try a really dark brown like Early Espresso or a dark blue like Night of Navy for a bit of a change.

The rest of the card is quite self-explanatory so no long jibber-jabber post from me today.
