Embossed Silhouette

I am part of a group of paper crafters that are on a Periscope Crafting Train every Friday Night.  I try to show a technique during these, while showcasing Stampin’ Up! product. Sometimes I know what I want to show and other times I am running on empty due to life. 

***Periscope – Live Streaming App, that you can now view on your computer.***

This past Friday, was one of the latter so I had to come up with a quick card yet effective.  This has worked for me, maybe a few times in the past.  But this week I delivered a great card, or so I was told.

I was inspired by a piece of art I found on Pinterest, that had nothing to do with paper crafting. I love to look through the web, find a piece of art, a print from a rug or clothing, and many other things.
So I digress, on to the card….I love this silhouette, which is embossed with silver on a wood grain background.

I even had to create another card to finish off the DSP (Designer Series Paper), and some more embossing.
