Silhouettes are very popular and what could be more endearing then ornaments for the tree using the gorgeous ones that are now available at PaperWhimsy.
I used the new Hybrid Silhouette sheets:
Silhouette 02 Sheet JPG
Silhouette 03 Sheet JPG
The background used are Geometric Background 14 JPG, English Rose Journal Tags and After Five Journal Tags. I traced around Oval Chipboard and Square chipboard shapes on to the papers and cut out. Using gel medium, (you could also use glue stick or a Xyron adhesive machine), I adhered the paper and images to the chipboard. I then added some of the beautiful Tinsel Trims and Tinsel Stems and glued along the edges. A bit of metallic thread glued to the back for a hanger.
Wouldn’t a tree or Christmas garland be spectacular with silhouettes dangling from the branches? Or a theme of certain silhouette colors? These little dangles would also be fabulous on a package or gift bag as tags.
