Although I had been saving this image I fussy cut awhile back for another idea I had, I decided to use it for Try it on Tuesday's current silhouette challenge. 
I carefully cleaned my scanner in anticipation of the silhouettes I was going to scan, then realized after I had it scanned and entered, I had actually caused more harm than good. Seems I smeared the "goo" around, rather than removing it.I used my favorite background technique for this: faux credit card swipe. Although it's a simple spread, I spent a lot of time cutting it. I call it "Lending a helping hand."
Thanks to everyone at Try it on Tuesday for this great challenge. And thanks to each of you for visiting. I'm truly grateful.

I like this a lot, as I have been thinking much about friendships lately and how one best supports a friend in need. For me, green is a colour I associate with pain, and you have a very interesting range of shade and texture here. Lovely.
Super pages, my friendd!
WOW E! This page throws an impact of great per portions. What a great silhouette to have on hand.
Wonderful background and a great silhouette image to add to it
Great to see you at TIOT and thank you for joining us
Love Chrissie xx
Nice! Greens are my favorite -- and black!
A very nice background faux credit card swipe. Those silhouette's really pop against the background and a very apt title for this piece as well.
I love the helping hand. What a wonderful concept.
What a brilliant silhouette this is - I love the faux credit card background - the colours you have used make a great effect! Add to that the great title and I must say that I feel cheered by seeing this! So pleased you linked to Try It On Tuesday again! Hugs, Chrisx
Love how you make your backgrounds, and those two silhouettes are fantastic. I do like the words, we all need that helping hand on occasions.

p.s. Thank you for joining us all over at TioT's again this time,
I really like this background. That green is my favorite color so it make me happy to see it. And I like the silhouette too. Hope you are having a nice Sunday-and winter storm Kayla isn't in your neighborhood. I had the weather channel on and it looked like you might have missed the worst of it- I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'm right about that. Hugs.
Faux credit card swipe is the best. I have taken to using my brayer roller too and my big gelli plate and slapping it down to fill a whole page at once. I did that to make my Christmas paper and it's kind of a stress reliever. Great for use with craft paints to give a good background. That might be a way for you to use your gelli plate and not get disappointed with it. Try it and let me know. We all need a helping hand don't we!!! xox
This is such a brilliant silhouette image and looks stunning against your fab background.
Thanks for sharing again at TioT

A great page, I like the layout, the size of the figures on the page.
LOVE!! <3
You page is very powerful E.
I appreciate all of the cutting that went into your silhouettes.
That is time consuming and you have to be careful not to snip off an arm or leg ;-)
Great background! That credit card swipe technique is a fun one.
