Santa's Flight Silhouette
The stamp is santa's flight from a•muse studio, and the technique is Scene Silhouette from the Technique Junkies newsletter. It is easy to turn any stamp into a silhouette, and with such a dark background (in spots, I was going for an ombre effect), it helps the image stand out.
I created the background by starting with a very pale blue paper, and coloring bands with my water-soluble pastels. A little swirling with a water brush melted and blended the colors. the punched edge is a nice contrast. I added assorted bling to the stars to give them some texture.

Hi Juliet - I love your Christmas card with this great snowy night-time scene. Just how I imagined it when I was a little girl - lol. Great way of altering the colour of your blue paper - I shall try it myself.
Thank you so much for joining us at Lady Anne's Monochrome challenge this month, I do hope we see you again very soon.
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx DT member.
PS I do like the "Be honest - I can take it" sentiment - it made me smile.
Love your scenery. Great design with the christmas trees at the bottom and santa riding his sleigh. Thanks for playing at ABC Christmas Challenge and good luck. Hope to see you back wednesday for a new challenge. Bettina DT Member at ABC Christmas Challenge xx

Such a great card. Love the silhouette and the trees at the bottom just make it a perfect scene.
So it's easy to turn any stamp into a silhouette is it? Ok how? :)
