Chrissie and Mandi have a challenge, number 42 no less, for us over at LIM and it is
Silhouettes
n. A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene consisting of the outline and a basically featureless interior, with the silhouetted object usually being black.
My first card is for a chap, I find men's cards a bit of a challenge, but I'm going to keep trying.
Stamp by Papermania
Tim Holtz Bitty Grunge
This card is quite vintage in style, when I think of silhouttes I tend to think of the Victorian era when they were a popular item, so I've teamed mine with lace and an ornate frame.
My silhouette is a peel off, I have hardly any stamps that are silhouettes.
The lace stamp is from Katzelcraft I got mine from the Craft Barn:0)
My frame came from QVC many moons ago, I've painted it in black acrylic chalk paint and rubbed antique gold wax to highlight the relief. The peel off is mounted onto gold glitter card, which I shaded with copics.
Thank you so much for stopping and visiting, I really appreciate you taking the time to have a look at my cards:0) Thank you too for all the lovely comments it really means a lot, Gay x

Wow! Your first card is so masculine and athletic. Wonderful!! Your second card is just lovely. I really like the contrast of the antiqued part with the gold glitter card and the silhouette is stunning against them!!
Great cards Gay!
I love that background treatment on the first one!
Thanks so much

2 great cards, that first one is perfect for a teenager x
Fab cards. I especially like the top one; such a great background. I have that stamp but have never managed to achieve a lot with it. I'm tempted to go and give it another try! Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog.
Both are different but oh so beautiful!

Both smashing cards Gay, but love the looseness of the design in the first. x
Fabulous cards Gay - the background on the first one really does give that feeling of speed - absolutely brilliant!
Love the feminine vintage look of the second one - the ornate frame and lace stamp are beautiful.
May have to give this week's LIM a miss, unless I can find something lurking in that dark corner again!!
Hope you are feeling much better now.
Hugs, Sylvia xxxx
Two fabulous cards Gaye, love them both but the first is my favourite

Now you've got me humming the song!!
Fab cards Gay, love the grunge stamps on the first, they go so well with the snowboarder dude :)
Great cameo...all the elements have come together brilliantly to create a lavish centrepiece :)

Two very different cards Gay! I love the grungy background you've created on the top one but the Victorian antique feel of the second is my favourite. I love the effect of the frame and the lace border is the perfect background.
I've been catching up on your posts and saw that you'd gone off for your girlie weekend. What a shame you had to come home early. Really hope you're feeling better now - you must be fed up with it all. Take care, Vicky x
Gay - these are so different, but both are just super. I like the elegance of the cameo card. But my favourite is the skater dude! Would be perfect for Ben!
Hi Gay
Sorry to be playing catch up, I've just realised how much I've missed this week.
I'm glad you enjoyed your break away. Sounds just what the doctor ordered.
Love the calendar pages as always and these silhouettes are gorgeous.. The snowboarder is great, so unusual.
I shall be singing that song all day now... thanks for that!!
Hugs Lisax
Gay your man's card is brilliant ... and the cameo silhouette is awesomely beautiful. X
Hey there, I love that tune too...Queen ! Just the best! The silhoutte looks great - how very special to an urban style silouette! Very classy indeed...
Both totally Stunning Gay

Now it's my turn for blogger not to let me leave comments arragh!
Both cards are amazing, but the first one, my son would love. Has inspired me for a possible xmas card for him.
Thanks Gay

Two fabulous cards! The first is a wonderful guy's card, and the second is just lovely. Thanks so much for sharing your tips about distress inks. I'll definitely check out some of the videos! :) ann
i think you should add some lace on the top as well, and place the frame in the middle then.

Two super cards. I find male cards difficult too but think you've nailed it. Oh dear I'll be singing Gallileo figaro for the rest of the day now. x
Two great cards, Gay! That first one is such a great guy card. I have SO much trouble making cards for a guy!
Two fabulous cards, but that ladies one is stupendous, love it, Karen x
Two fantastic cards Gay! I love all the detail in the first card it is so cool and I bet any snowboarder would agree! Well done. Your vintage card is stunning to say the least.
I would have said you have cracked men's cards Gay, the sillouette of the lady is beautiful too
You can see a silhoutto of man in a flower. Have a look here
