This is for the CCEE Stampers challenge which is to use scoring on our cards. You may not be able to see the scoring, but it's there. It's around three sides (top, left and bottom) of the main image panel. This is also for the Ways To Use It Challenge which is to use silhouette stamps. Finally, this is for the Twisted Sistahs Challenge which is to use the Faux Silk Technique. After stamping the silhouette with Black Stazon, I sponged with green and pink. Then, I covered the whole image with glue. I stamped the flowery branch on white tissue paper, crumpled it up, then smoothed it out and adhered it to the panel with the glue. I colored the flowers and branch with markers. I like how it turned out, even though we gave Lesley a hard time for presenting this challenge! LOL! If you'd like to join us Twisted Sistahs for this challenge, just make a card using the Faux Silk technique, and please use TSC0218 in your keywords when you upload. Thanks for taking a peek!!

CarrollAnn! Sistah, I am awe-struck at your design! I absolutely love how your silhouette stands out with your faux silk. Your flowers are gorgeous, and the scoring and bow are delish. You are a wonderful card maker Sistah! LYMI.....

OMGosh, this is absolutely stunning, CA!! That added touch of color on your silhouette BEFORE you added the faux silk is dynamite, GF!! Great idea to stamp the flowers on the tissue before adding it with the technique really made those flowers pop!! Love that big bow really dressing it up!! Nailed all those challenges in one mighty fine card, my Sistah-what a gift you have!!
