Congrats, Mary, on your first challenge....love the gorgeous colors!! However, I didn't have a single one of those new colors so I had to make this up as I went..LOL!! I also tried Holly's TLC challenge; Embedded Image. I LOVE this technique!!! Everything was going ok until I got to the part about embossing the silhouette image with a darker embossing powder...wouldn't ya know I didn't have anything darker but gold and silver so I used clear. The image just melted into the background like a shadow. Not to be out done by a little embossing, I just stamped the image again with Tangerine Chalk ink and Dusty Durango and left it alone...kinda like the icing on the cake. The stamps are from Gina K. Designs Botanicals set and a little sewing, distressing, lace, and ribbon finish it off. TFL!!

I love this collage type card!! You did an awesome job with Holly's challenge from yesterday. I think I'm missing out by not doing it. A wonderful job with today's colors as well Joan.
