Silhouette Simply!

My favorite day of the week again!  Tuesday is the one that isn't right after the weekend but far enough from Friday for me to stay energized and able to get seriously done with some projects!  At Top Tip Tuesday, this is a "Tipper Week"  where you leave a tip and win a prize!  Gotta love sharing and getting something in return!hehe  Anyway we have the following challenge:

Tipper Week

I wanted to make a simple flowerless project that was inspired by the great artist Mindy.  She did such a fabulous job with "Only Paper"  not flowers or Ribbon ~ you should stop by and see what she made, It's beautiful!   I get to meet and pick up some great tips from Mindy in my card class with Angie this coming Saturday!  I'm so excited, I can hardly wait!  

I also wanted to incorporate it into a sketch from the "NEW" Tickeled Pink Sketch Challenge to enter for the first time with!  So here are the details, I hope you enjoy it!

  1. Hi Tammy!
    This is gorgeous! I love the colors and how you curved the butterfly leaves. There's so much dimension on this card. It's amazing how much dimension you can get without actual embellishments. I cannot wait till Saturday! We will have to take lots of pictures!

    Hugs, Mindy
