OTWC #43

Hi everyone!  This week's issue of Off The Wall Craftiness inspiration is just plain and simple.
Black and White.
Take a look at the inspiration photo.



I could NOT wait to ink up last month's new Wilson Designs stamp set: Simply Silhouettes.
Have I mentioned just how much I like this set? Especially this little girl silhouette. Soo sweet!
This card will be linked up over at The Moxie Fab World for their new challenge:  The Appearance of Cameos Challenge in the Moxie Fab World!!


I was telling my friend Jen about my obsession lately with embossing folders and just had to use another new one.  I believe it is by Cuttlebug and goes perfectly with my favorite frame from Simply Silhouettes. 


This week's sponsor is Third Coast Stamps.  Want to win a sweet prize?  Just go link up a new project over at Off The Wall Craftiness and remember if you use Wilson Designs stamps, you get an extra chance to win!  Just let Kim know in the comments!

  17. Wow, your card is stunning!! I just popped over from Moxie Fab World to check out all the fabulous cameo projects, and I absolutely adore yours! This is just so elegant. Love the embossed panel and love the black ribbon and scalloped edge. Gorgeous silhouette image and I love the scattering of silver pearls, too. Really beautiful!

  18. Amy, you're right: your embossing folder is just perfect for that silhouette frame! I've used a frame stamp, as well, for a card that I will post late, late tonight for Splitcoaststampers Clean and Simple Design Team. I'm their Guest Designer tomorrow, and I love the frame I've used.

    Must say, Amy, that I always like your cards. You have a wonderful style! And I'm honored that you dropped by my blog to leave a comment. :D
