I tried enhancing the color on my scanner, and I just can't seem to get it to do the card justice. The background paper is a light mint green, but no where near as light as the scanner makes it appear.
Anyway, I created this card for two challenges:
First for CAS58 which was to use any shade of green and brown + white or cream. Hope I'm not cheating by having a silhouette image.
The second challenge is for Midnight Madness. I'm just getting in under the wire. You can see their site here:
I used a Cuttlebug Script folder on the background paper to correlate with the image of the young lady putting a letter in the mail. The stamp is from Stampin Up, but I don't know what the name of the set is - I know it is old and retired.
Thanks so much for looking, and I sure hope you like it.

I love a silhouette! Great use of the script embossing folder to go with the image. Thanks for joining us for the MMSC this week. Great take on the sketch.
