This week is all about "a Cameo Appearance" at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! What do you think about when you think of a cameo? A guest appearance by a celebrity in a show, you want to play with your Silhouette Cameo perhaps a vintage necklace? Let's get inspired and join us!
When I think of a cameo I think of silhouettes. That's why I have used the Silhouette stencil from Jenni Bowlin for the invitations to my party. For this card, I started working with my Gelatos Designer Kit and 50's Diner. I simply can't get enough of playing with my Gelatos. I just love the drippage and remove methods. Those are so much fun. Click here for the instructions on these techniques. This time I used the remove technique with the exclusive Diagonal Stripe Stencil from Simon Says Stamp.
The Silhouette stencil Jenni Bowlin got a boy and girl silhouette facing each other and this in a repeating pattern. I only wanted three girls silhouettes facing the same direction. I masked off the boy silhouette and used the two outer girls with Black Soot Distress Paint colored Modeling Paste mixed with Distress Embossing Powder Black Soot in it for texture. To get the middle girl precisely aligned I have marked her position. Once the boys are masked off, it's difficult to align.
For more contrast, I stamped the Retro Circles by Tim Holtz with Archival Jet Black Ink. I've made splashes with Black Marble Dylusions Spray. Because of the way the Gelatos reacts with Distress Ink, you can see the lines through the letters of the School House Stencil.
To join in all you need to do is make a project that fits this weeks challenge and you can be the winner of the $50 gift voucher that our amazing sponsor Simon Says Stamp offers.

Simon Says Stamp!
This is so stunning Sandra!! LOVE the vibrant background and the three silhouettes were a perfect idea.
You have a gift for working with color. Beautiful! I love that stencil. And I love how you used it. Very creative as well as gorgeous.
Grand spectacular colors Sandra - you do nothing but get better and better and yet I see so much of your original style that captivated me in the first place. When I think of a cameo I think of my grandmother who I loved dearly. I do like the repeating pattern of the little girl. Well done!!

Wow Sannie,
Your project is BRILLIANT - in every way, coloring FO SHO!!! It fairly sings - so refreshing in these oh so dull winter months.
Blessings,

Another "wow" project! I really liked how you did the diagonal lines combined with the "messy" paint drips. You always create unique and unexpected elements and I think this is the perfect mix of modern (colors and patterns) with traditional (cameos). Well done!
Scrumptious colors and coloring…. love how you've done this one!
Truly gorgeous and I love those silhouettes against the bright, bold background...it's just a stunning piece and I love it!! :) xo
Sannie! First off, please forgive me for being the biggest stranger. I've been following along all your beautiful creations but haven't said hi. I love your card and those Jenni Bowlin silhouettes - you are quite the artist! Your love for life really comes through in the bright colors you work with. :) Keep up the beautiful work!!
another gorgeous creation, full of awesome color!
Fabulous background! I really like the Gelatos, I just bought and I absolutely have to try them! Looking at the wonderful result of your card, you're definitely enjoyed to use them! I love your colorful style! BArbarayaya
Such a bold look. Love what you're doing with gelatos Sandra. Jenny x
Gorgeous blend of colors with the fantastic cameos in the striking black to draw the eye down through this mix of colors. Bold and beautiful!
Sweet creation, Sandra! I always love the background colors on your projects, so cheerful and bright. Wonderful design! :)
How crazy fun is this? Love the vibrant color, and you do the drips so well! The cameo stamp is fabulous with that angel's profile!
I really should have commented before now because the work you've posted over the last several weeks, made with Gelatos, is very appealing to me and I appreciate the tips you've provided for using them. The bold colors are really eye-catching especially when combined with dark inks and washi tape. This looks like such a fun and useful medium, I really must try them myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a fantastic card Sandra! Love the colorful vibrant background and stenciled detail!
Let's Party is right, Sandra! Love this vibrant card and all those stunning layers! What a great Cameo stamp! Hope you are having a great weekend! Hugs!
