Hello girls! I've been missing my challenges all week, and by chance, today is Pierre's birthday! I was preparing this card off an on for him and don't you know it was almost finished, well it was but I didn't write the wish in and couldn't give it to him this morning. BAD Peggy! LOL
Oh and yeah, today is our TSC challenge and we were to make a silhouette card. I smile for I have read some questionning concerning the colors of silhouettes. Should they be only black and white...well let me put your sweet mind at peace ladies. For I believe any old color can be a silhouette if we want them to be. That's the free thinker in me talking.
I drew the tree inspired by a stamped image , then just layed out a punched circle and added a shooting star to wish upon. cut out a couple inspired by an picture of us and glued it in some kind of bush I made (???) Added a red flower and gold brad in it. Sentiment written translation: (J'ai fait un voeu... on the trunk of the tree) I made a wish...and the inside will read "...and you came true!" Awwwww...you think I can make it up with that and oh maybe a gorgeous white homemade cake!
Hope you like it and do enjoy.

I love all the freehanding you did. That always brings such a personal touch to a card. This one is beautiful and I agree with you, each of us can pick our own color of sillouette and it don't matter!!!

Oh-la-la grlfriend - this is a true expression of the heart - beautiful Peggy!!! Love all of your own touches - you are quite the Artist aren't you!!
