Aren’t you impressed that I can spell “silhouette”? Admit it, you are.
I made this one the other night. I had a picture of Shelby in silhouette. I cut around her and then traced it onto white paper. Then I enlarged it 300% and attached it to the black paper and cut around it and attached it to a pretty piece of paper with a subtle design. For reference, the frame is 12×12.
I added the ribbon because the picture was an old one (before Shelby had hair) and it looked like a little boy. I had been wanting to do one of these for awhile now; I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Isn’t that the cutest cowlick in the world?
On a side note: do you know how hard it is to get a picture of a black piece of paper behind glass? That’s why this is at a funny angle. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, try it sometime. I dare you.
This is too precious!! My mom had silhouettes of each of us kids. Wish I had done the same with my boys.
That’s awesome! I can’t believe you didn’t just sit her nice and still while you shone a bright light on her head and traced around her outline. Come on… doesn’t that sound like fun?
