A card with no stamps and no ink. Call the blog police!
Just paper, glue, black embellishment, and the Silhouette.
Card Construction Details:
1. A2 card with A Muse Studio Sage cardstock. Trimmed one inch off the side.
2. Cut out flowers, some smaller than others (easy to resize with the Silhouette). A Muse Studio Blush cardstock (exact same color as Papertrey Blush). Placed on Sage card as shown and adhered with Mono Multi glue.
3. Cut "hello" with the Silhouette (Ariel font) making sure to size to less than 1 inch high so that the letters would fit. Adhered by using the leftover cardstock as a mask. Added glue to back side of letters and fit into the spaces on the mask and then lifted off the mask. I'm either a genius or I saw this somewhere on a blog.
4. Decided this beauty needed more black. Added black plastic dots. Then added black cardstock as shown:
MOOD WHEN DONE = Satisfied + with the card.
I LOVE this color of green! I love the pop of black! I love the cut elements....I think I may be in love with this card!!

That's gorgeous! I have a feeling the more you do with that machine, the less we will see stamps and ink here.

Swoon! First a valentine's card for the Silhouette and now even more to fall in love with.

Love this card! I love the bold colors, and the flowers are great. What cardstock are you using in your Silhouette? I have trouble with PTI's.

Beautifully done. What you did takes a lot of skill.

Fabulous card, Joan! Love the colours. I just got a Cameo and want to play with it instead of going to work each day - the blog police (aka Stamp police) may be chasing me as well!

Beautiful! Reminds me of a pretty dress. Very clever with no stamping, too.

Gorgeous! I love the colour combination and those flowers. Wow. I am falling prey to that feeling of "If only I had product X and tool Y, I could make genius things like that." This is really lovely. I think the blog police will let you off with a warning this time since you did mention stamps and ink, even if they weren't used. (Very cunning ploy, BTW!)

You make me want a Silhouette. Bad. So bad. What an amazing, dramatic, beautiful card!!!!

AWESOME!! I love it! I really need to take time and play with my Cricut some more, but it's always a big production to take it out and use it. Then when I see creations like this, it makes me want to play, so thanks for the inspiration!

And to think...I said I never a silhouette! What a gorgeous bold, graphic design! I love the vertical sentiment!
Hugs!

Fantastic! Love it!! You should send this link to Claire (WMS) since she has finally just started playing with her Silhouette.

Stunning! I'm going to have to try to copy this to. Hopefully my Cricut will prove me wrong and will be able to pull it off. Hindsight sucks!

Wow, it just pops of the page (screen). I think this technique has many possibilities.

Love the black and green. I have a Silhouette to-sometimes I love it and other times want to throw it out the window! I'msure it's user error. Love the card. Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow, I love your card... especially the die cut flowers!! I have a Pazzles electronic die cutting machine that I never liked and a Cricut that I've never even plugged in! LOL!! Guess I need to try electronic die cutting again.
