This weeks challenge for the TS Lesley ask us to make a card with the faux silk technique. The TLC this week was to use a silhouette on our cards so I combined the challenges. I tried to make some clouds with a blue copic, but it is a little difficult to do on the tissue paper.The charm was supplied by my friend, Pat. Thanks, Pat.

I love to see these cowboys riding out to the sunset. Great masculine feel to this design and so cool that you used the faux silk technique with your image.

Your faux silk came out great and I love your clouds. You can just hear these guys talking can't you? "Charlie, my butt hurts from spending all day on this horse, and I could use some decent grub." "I know what you mean, Tex, I think you could use a long bath too." Or whatever guys say when they are coming back from a long ride. Love it!
