This handmade “thinking of you” card combines the calm of a peaceful scene with the glow of a sunset. I used the Stampin’ Up!® Peaceful View Stamp to create a silhouette card that’s surprisingly easy to make. In the live tutorial, I walk you through how to ink blend the background and add the stamped details—plus share a couple of tips that’ll help you skip over the mistakes I made. Whether you’re a beginner or just love the look of silhouettes, this is a project you’ll enjoy making again and again.
