I'm doing my best to get back into playing particular challenges which have always been favorites of mine and which have a 'progressive' element to them. Near the top of that list is Beccy's Place which isn't a true progressive challenge but we are required to use an image from Beccy's and she provides a freebie each month. You aren't required to use the freebie - you can use any of her images and my collection of them is rather large.
For this month, I used four of Beccy's silhouette images put onto a background dp (also from Beccy's Place) and I added a sentiment of my own. I sized the paper to 5.5" x 5.5", then copied and pasted the silhouette images (Agatha, the tall witch, was reversed.) The silhouettes are jpg files, so when they were merged onto the dp, there was that white background behind each silhouette. The white rectangles made the silhouettes and the sentiment pop off the background.
I printed the entire thing onto white CS. I used a "Satin" ProMarker to color the white rectangles so they wouldn't look quite so 'bright white.' Kind of visually interesting for a single layer card, don't you think?

Fabulous silhouette images! There's so many things you can do with them! Love the green eyes on your kitties and the fab Halloween papers too!
I have such a hard time with silhouette images! So glad you shared this as I love the way they do pop when used with the white around them! Love the paper and lots of fabulousness on your single layer card!

Fabulous card NanaConnie, I love the mix of spooky images! I also like the sentiment you added... the witch looks like she's calling to her familiars. Thank you for the lovely compliment, it's great to hear you enjoy our monthly challenge.
Cheers,
Beccy
