fancy silhouette

Happy Monday bloggers I'm very happy for a Monday as i have this week off to spend with my son... We're not going away just having days out.... So its time for another make my Monday challenge and this week is

                                                                    SILHOUETTES 

Heres my card.... It's a super quick card made this morning 

To make the coloured background i inked up my clear block using my SU markers, then spritzed it with alcohol to merge the colours - so quick but effective Ive used all 5 2013/2014 in colours ....

I made my black silhouette flower from black card stock, bird punch for my leaves and also my fancy flower punch... I couldn't resist adding the button to the centre of my flower to fancy it up...

Heres a closer look at my flower...

My sentiment is from the really good greetings SU stamp set...

I can't wait to see what you all make this week...

I'm also entering my card into the following challenge :
