The term silhouette is derived from a french finance minister named Etienne de Silhouette, who had to impose strict economic sanctions in 1759 because of war. His name became synonymous with cheap. Silhouettes, either painted or cut out, were way cheaper than a portrait painting! I think silhouettes are beautiful. Especially sweet little girls!
(You'll have to imagine that the sequin at the top of the card is bright gold. Could not get it to photograph correctly!)
I'm giving away a stamp set that includes this sweet girl silhouette. You can see the entire set at the bottom of this post.
This silhouette is one of my favorites and I've used it before. She is adorable and I love the scene with the kitty at attention and the doll. You can download this Sweet Silhouette below.
Check out those pretty papers. I discovered a store called The Simple Surface. Seriously, they have created some beautiful digital papers.
You can download the sweet silhouette image HERE.
Dropbox seems to work differently for different people. Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner. If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you.
Here's a quick peek at my sweet girls in the early morning during my last visit. We'll have to have a silhouette of Louisa done someday!
Above is the stamp set I'm giving away. It looks a little yellow here and there. My set looks that way, too. I'm thinking they use a slightly different formula in the UK to make their clear stamps. They don't look as clear as we are used to, but it doesn't affect performance.
Along with the stamp set, I'm also sending along a couple of surprises.
I love this stamp set. All the silhouettes are sweet girls and I like both frames and the bows.
One commenter (you can email me, too), will be randomly selected. Just let me know in your comment that you would like the stamps.
Have a lovely week!
