The weekend is nearly here - so, that means it's time for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge!!! This week, it's all about the silhouette. But, here's the deal - in an effort to make sure everyone can create with their own personal style - you don't need to make your image look like a silhouette. It just needs to be a solid stamp! You can color it with markers. You can emboss it. You can do whatever you want as long as you use a solid stamp! Click HERE for the "official details!"
Well, when I heard what the challenge was - it was a no brainer which stamp set I would use!!! The new Spring Ephemerals set from Flourishes that I have been using all week -- what else! This card is about the easiest card ever! I used Basic Grey's Scarlet's Letter paper - stamped my bleeding heart flower on it with black ink. I matted it onto black that had been edged with gold leaf pen. Cut a strip of the distressed red paper, stamped the "Thank You" from the Many Sentiments set and then again layered that on a strip of black that had been edged with gold. I put the strip on my card (card front is also Scarlet's Letter paper) Then, using foam tape, I taped my image to the left side of the card. The black embellies are actually just flat back black rhinestones that I got at Mikes in the jewelry isle! That's it my friends! You seriously can't get any easier than that! And, you know I LOVE the black and red combo! I think I am addicted to it in fact!!

Hope you are all enjoying today and have fun weekend plans ahead! Take care!
p.s. For those of you who asked if you could be in the "cool club," you're in. I have to warn you though - I had to personally vouch for each and every one of you to my four-year-old. She actually asked --"And, they are all cool?" I said, "Of course, you think I don't hang with cool people!?!" So, you're in. I'll be contacting you all for dues!! LOL!!
