Silhouettes in style


I was asked by Robin at La Bella Mela to make a few framed silhouettes for the shop, and I happily agreed. Now, the tough part is that she asked me in late October and it was nearly January by the time I did these. The worst part was finding the frames.

You can't just put these in a square or rectangle everyday frame, they need to be more ornate. And oval would be the best, but proved to be even more difficult to find.


I ended up quite happy with these. I used either Webster's Pages or Pink Paislee for my background papers and the silhouettes are cut from the Heritage Cricut cartridge.


Unless they have been given a good home already, these are for sale at La Bella Mela in Brockport, NY. Thanks for stopping to see my projects today!!
