Simply Silhouetted!

Hi everyone, this card is for Andrea's Stampin' Moments Simply Saturday challenge - Simply Silhouetted. I really love silhouette stamps, you don't really have to do a lot to them, just stamp it on a nice background, add a little bling and there you go!

My stamp is by Hero Arts, the greeting is from Stamp-It. I just stamped the flowers onto some patterned paper.......I have no idea who the maker is as I only have a few scraps left, wish I had some more really! I added a colour lift with some red gingham ribbon. Not sure if this is a true CAS card as it has a few layers, but it was pretty easy to make. Hope you like it!


Just on a personal note, it is an anniversary of sorts today for me. Not one that you'd want though, it's one year today since I was diagnosed with cancer. It hasn't been a great year, but, the good thing is that I'm still here to talk about it.........and I'm not planning to go anytime soon either!

That's a beautiful card Lyn.
Congratulations on making it through this difficult year. Takes a lot of courage to fight that fight and come out of it with such a positive attitude. I admire your outlook.

Lynn, this is lovely! Love the text bg with the silhoutte flowers and the pop of red from the ribbon! And glad you made it through a year with such courage and strength and optimism!

Congratulations, Lyn, on your anniversary. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers everyday. I especially love this card. Often the beauty of our cards are in their simplicity-something I occasionally forget! Keep up all the good work. My very best, Janis Rothermel
