This is for our Queen for the Day 55, Harriet (hskelly) - Harriet is such a friendly and encouraging presence in the challenges and what a fabulous CAS gallery she has -I chose to CASE this card: MMTPT140 Butterfly Cat for Linda by hskelly at Splitcoaststampers
I also combined it with today's Free for All challenge - embedded embossing. I sponged and stamped the silhouette image onto a strip before attaching and embossing it with the square lattice folder. I then sponged a Nesties circle with the same inks and stamped the image several times. I tried to keep it fairly CAS in honor of Harriet's style but couldn't resist brads and twine!!

This is just gorgeous, such a beautiful silhouette, and such a awesome job going over it many times with out it being smudged. I tried once because my ink is not that good and it smudged , so it is very hard to do well done....great CAS have a sweet day...TFS...:0)..oh did i mention it is gorgeous,with beautiful colors..:0)

Wow! Stunning card, Bridget! Your sponging work is amazing. The purple hues look like they were spray painted. Using the silhouette stamp on purple is a such a clever design!

Can I just say that I LOVE this card! The purple/pink is awesome, and the design is very pretty. The twine adds a nice touch -- I've got to use it more.
