Good morning!   It's Cynthia and I'm back to share  a little Sweet 'n Sassy inspiration with you. I have been featuring the fabulous silhouette stamp line from Sweet 'n Sassy this month.   Today I have a very clean and simple birthday card using  Landscape Silhouettes and Birthday Innies I started with a circle mask and sponged various  layers of Memento ink to create the water and sky. Then the silhouette stamp was applied with Versafine Black Ink.  Finally, the birthday sentiment was stamped with Stampin' Up Going Gray classic ink. I hope this inspires you to pull out your Sweet 'n Sassy stamps and play along!   This week's challenge theme is Fun at the Beach. You can find all of the details HERE. Hope you have a great week!
