I stamped it using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink as the base colour and then gradually added shading and some background and foreground foliage, and the train passing under the bridge was coloured with Aged Mahogany DI which is a reddy brown colour. The green is Pine Needles, and the shadows are Ground Espresso. The sky has some Chipped Sapphire and a little of the green added for a bit of contrast, and also some Dusty Concord. The colours are all well watered down as I didn't want anything too strong so you can see some of the lovely brickwork on the viaduct. I framed it with dark blue and kraft card and added the sentiment using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.
Thanks for your visit today and I'll see you again soon.

Stunning card, Pat. The lovely scene is beautifully coloured, especially the brickwork which is amazing! xx
This is so cool, looks like a cardsized landscape painting.
What a fabulous way to use a silhouette stamp Pat! This is just gorgeous and deserves to be framed IMHO.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas and thanks for sharing with us at Happy Little Stampers.
You've transformed your silhouette stamp into a gorgeous work of art! I agree with the others: this is frame-worth! Thrilled that you shared your creativity in the Uniko gallery!
