Today, I'm sharing a card created with the SILHOUETTE TRAIN stamp.

This very CAS card was created by stamping the image with a stamp positioning tool with Gina K Amalgam Ink. (My fave for stamping silhouette images)
I stamped the image once, but left the stamp in position inside of the positioning tool because after I added color to the card I would be re-stamping it a few more times and needed to have consistent and exact stamp placement

After the first stamping, I added color to the card with Blue Knight Select PanPastels.
I used the PanPastel Colorless Blender to blend the PanPastels together with a nice smooth line-less transition between the colors which were applied with long strokes...left to right.

When the colors were exactly as I wanted them to be I put the image piece back into the positioning tool and re-stamped the image a few more times...until the silhouette image was solid and was a dense spot-free black image.

To seal the image I used Nexxus Comb Thru hairspray.
(Yes...you read that right....Nexxus Comb Thru hairspray)

I trimmed the image a bit and chose black card stock and gold LCI Metallic card stock for matting,

This terrific stamp i ideal for creating quick and easy cards.
Using PanPastels for adding color is SO easy!
With just a few strokes of color and the card is complete!

If you enjoy creating cards in multiples, like I do...this is a great stamp to add to your wish list...
Plus it's very masculine-card friendly..which is a bonus...because sometimes...it's a challenge to  find a stamps to create masculine cards.
