Silhouettes

Here is a card using the Hero Arts image which I used for the split negative project I made a couple of weeks ago. This time it's the whole thing in just one embossing ink. I've teamed it with part of the Memory Box deer die cuts to add the silhouette and included a simple sentiment from Penny Black. It was the second card I made for our Challenge at "Less is More" which this week is to make a card  with a silhouette incorporated into it.

This is in similar vein and although there is little white space on this particular one, the overall design is still CAS. The Hero Arts trees were stamped with Memento Onyx Black and twinkled with Glamour Dust! Once more I have used the superb die from Memory Box for the deer. The sentiment has been cut with the Memory Box die I did the positioning  tutorial for a short while ago.

That's a wonderful diecut! I love the silhouette trees behind on the first card and the embossed stars on the second card. Great inspiration!

Two smashing cards using Trees, Stars and Deer in totally different ways, I think the 'triangle' trees are brilliant.

Two gorgeous cards, but the second one is my favourite the animals stand out so well against the snow

These are so pretty, Chrissie. I've been admiring those Memory Box deer die cuts on a lot of cards lately.

I think I neglected to comment on your cards from last week, and I had intended to. Those leaves were gorgeous, especially that last one with the embossed Nestie. Such beautiful colors! I loved it.
