I'm calling this ~ my silhouette phase right now. I love them - so I'm not sure if I'm finished yet with them!
For this "phase" I used the Silhouette Family and the other graphics from The Graphic Fairy.
I layered the "family" on a handwriting graphic.
Here's mom and dad - love the pipe dad has!
These were old picture frames - that I painted a gloss black
Here's the kids!
These kids are too cute!
These aren't silhouettes, but I love how they look with the "family"
I printed these images out on vellum paper
These frames are candle holders from Dollar Tree - painted black
I removed the glass - since I have vellum paper in these - I'm using battery tea lights
I Silhouette heart these!
My goodness these are fantastic! You did a wonderful job. Thanks for the idea!

Genius to use the printed vellum with the tea light behind it!!

They came out great! I really like the final touch of the pocketwatch and typewriter. They look gorgeous all grouped together!

it looks great!
ReplyDeleteI have never thought about printing on velum!
Does it take longer to dry?
what a great idea to put them in front of batteries tea light!
Thanks so much for the comments! I have these in our guest bedroom. It doesn't take too long for the ink to dry on the vellum - I cut these out about 5 minutes after I printed them!xoxo ~Marcy
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!! I love the DT candle holders the best. I want to try something like that now. I hope my DT has those candle holders.
