Serene Silhouettes Because I Care

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 415 - More Old Muse; Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 418 - Circles; Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 209 - Featured CAS Player (simplybeautifu) which is just what her gallery is full of; and Monday's MOJO MONDAY'S SKETCH CHALLENGE # 282.

I finally found enough energy to make it upstairs to stamp today, I am on sick day 2 from work for the 1st time in over 3 years and ready for this crudd to be gone.

I chose to CASE this LONG STEM SILHOUETTE from simplybeautifuls gallery and hope I did it justice but if not keep in mind I am still full of Nyquil that stuffy, sneezy, coughing, wheezing, get out of your craft room cold medicine. LOL.

I used a French Script background stamp from Stampedous stamped in more mustard with the Nestie in place then stamped the silhouette image in midnight muse on top of it. I used some midnight muse ribbon and old olive cs then popped up my sentiment from Because I care stamped in midnight muse and matted on midnight muse. My focal panel, sentiment panel and care base are vanilla cs. I cut the base & focal panel with Large Circle Nesties cutting the base just above the top circle so it would hold together. I cut the matt for the focal panel using GRand Nesties Scalloped circles and the matt for the sentiment with SU Scallop circle punch.

Hope you like it.
