I found this a very difficult challenge until I found this silhouette of a greek man holding the eternal flame. This is courtesy of Gwyneth Windsor's Silhouette Sensations CD. The background has been stamped with russet and coffee coloured Archival Inks and the stamp is from The Stamp Man. The olympic rings were from Wikipedia.
I have thoroughly enjoyed making this card as it is the only thing I have made since before Christmas due to my dear husband John wrecking his back and taking to his bed on Boxing Day. Thank you ladies!
Thank you too for calling by and do feel free to leave a comment, as I find them very encouraging.
Fabulous silhouette, just perfect. Love the background stamping too. Glad you are back on the crafting wagon.

So sorry about your dh's back. My lower back and hips are giving me fits now but being in bed seems to make it worse. Your Olympics card is beautiful. What a great silhouette you've found to use!
