This is another one for the TLC Challenge to stamp with something other than a stamp. I already did a card today, but when I walked by a piece of wrapping paper on the table, I had an "aha" moment. I could stamp with that! I crumbled up the wrapping paper, pressed it into the ink pad and tapped it on the cardstock to create the background. Then I grabbed this silhouette stamp for the middle. Unfortunately, I smudged the embossing powder on the sentiment under the girl and did not emboss clearly. Fortunately, that unplanned fumble gave me the idea to cover it up with a "happy" sentiment strip for the CAS Challenge to use the word happy. The strip reads: "happy today, happy tomorrow, Happy Everything". I glued the left side of the strip, then curled it up slightly and attached the right side, so that it is raised in the middle. A couple candy dots for the attached look. I'll be using the wrapping paper idea again; it was so easy and created such an interesting background. TFL

This IS a delightful and happy card - your stamped bg with the wrapping paper looks terrific and the sweet silhouette with the happy sentiment below just wonderful!
