silo day 5

Silhouettes lend themselves beautifully to all kinds of paper goods. I love making them into personalized cards. I prefer to leave the silhouettes in black, and use some color for the type. A colored envelope is a nice touch. I'm a big fan of thank you notes, and personalized ones with Bee's silhouette were perfect for Bee's birthday party.

A family of silhouettes makes a nice notecard. I'm hoping to send a set of these to my brothers and sisters when their birthdays come around. (Get ready, little brother!)

A cute anniversary card can be made by printing two silhouettes on a gatefold card. This one opens up to a heart that says "Happy Anniversary!"

I've tried making all sorts of cute paper goods for myself and family, but things seem to fall apart during printing! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

There is a wonderful book review in April, 2010 World of Interiors on Silhouette: The Art of the Shadow by Emma Rutherford. Thought of you and your silouettes, which I love by the way. Check out this book.

Really loving the anniversary card! In my wildest dream, my husband would make me one. Perhaps I will just make him one instead.
