I started by cutting a piece of white cs at 3 x 4 1/4 and then ink blended it with pink, orange, yellow & green inks. I stamped my silhouette image in black (Gina K's Autumn Silhouettes) over the ink blended panel and then cut 3 1inch strips and each of the strips into 2 1/8 inch pieces. I lined them up on a panel that I embossed using SU!'s Subtle embossing folder and then adhered it all to a top folding white card base.
My sentiment is from Gina K's Natural Silhouettes stamp set and I inked around the edges with a black sharpie and also added a piece of black & white baker's twine, before adding foam tape for a bit of dimension. Three silver metallic pearls (PFS) finished off my CAS card.
