If you like silhouettes on cards, the Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set is one you have to get, before it retires the end of May. One of my favorite images is the swinging girl. You can see the complete set in my Product List below.
This card has lots of dimension, and begins with a Misty Moonlight card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The blue & white stripe is Dandy Garden Designer Paper, cut 1/16″ smaller than the card front. The floral paper is also Dandy Garden, cut 3 3/4 X 5 3/8″, and backed with cardstock for thickness.
After gluing the floral paper and cardstock together, I used a Layering Ovals Die ( 2 3/4″ across) to cut a hole in the middle, a little closer to the top. Then, I added lots of Foam Adhesive Strips to the back, and attached it to the card front.
Next, I stamped the swinging girl, from the Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink, on Basic White Cardstock, using the Stamparatus to insure good stamping. After cutting, and adding pieces of Foam Adhesive Strips, I attached her inside the oval. I used Foam Adhesive Strips, because they are twice as high as Dimensionals, and I wanted her to be the same elevation as the floral paper.
“Happy Day” is from the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set, stamped in Versamark on Misty Moonlight Cardstock, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, and set with the Heat Tool. I used the smallest Stitched So Sweetly Die for cutting the label, and the bee was cut from another pattern of Dandy Garden Designer Paper.Â
The Layering Oval Dies, and the Itty Bitty Greeting Stamp Set, are also retiring the end of May, and the Dandy Garden Designer Paper is retiring the end of June. So, get them while you can.
 I was inspired by Fab Friday.

Thanks Liz! I’m so glad you liked it!
So cute! The peekaboo window is perfect for this image so it doesn’t look like she’s just swinging in space! 🙂 The sweet little bee is a great to highlight the smaller sentiment! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
