Technique Tuesday: Stylish Silhouettes

Looking for a simple yet stylish holiday card design? Layer customized silhouette clip art images either by hand or digitally for a cool and unique greeting card that won’t take hours to create! The photo card above features a hand-cut deer image from patterned paper…while the card below was created with mirrored images layered in Photoshop.

There’s still time to get your custom-designed card printed…online card services like Cards Direct and Shutterfly offer a number of convenient options. For a truly unique holiday photo card, PhotoWorks has a number of truly unique designs that I couldn’t resist ordering!!!

This concept speaks to collage and mixed media art…I’ve posted step-by-step instructions for creating a layered silhouette collage from clip art on my other blog, Creative Collage.
