Today I certainly have something different. I hope you won't be offended.
I needed a birthday card for a friend of 51 years, we have always had a great laugh the 4 of us, so usually send him a humorous birthday card. This year was no exception. I am a member of the Card making and Papercrafts with the Silhouette on Facebook where Marie Papadopoulou made a silhouette behind some window blinds, then a few others did something else with the blinds and then I saw this by Julie, well here is my interpretation on the theme, the image is from a font.
I cut the blinds out of shiny black card with the image in matt black card, I added the background I had played with in PS and printed it out. The sentiment is one I saw on the web and it seemed to suit the image and our friend LOL. He is 74! I'm glad to say he laughed his head off.

You are SO clever! What a totally different & fun card for this 74 yr old friend. Not surprised that he was delighted with it, and had the humor to enjoy the fun too. Love the blinds and that sentiment is just over the top funny. Well done, and you are just an incredibly gifted cardmaker! TFS & Happy wkend.

Oh this is fantastic Faith!
Too funny, however over-the-top it may be. Definitely not your normal style, Faith, but I do love it. :-D
Are we seeing the Faith - super card. x
Tooooo funny! This is marvelous! I wish you had left links as to find the silhouette and how you cut the blinds. Yes, definitely another keeper for my files. I bet your friend DID laugh and have a great time with it.
And that is what I call great job. You put so much heart into this blog that it definitely should be better known.
