Getting right to the chase because I'm so extremely thrilled with this challenge and I can't wait to give you the link to it, here is my DT creation for Our Creative Corner where the marvelous Marcy is hosting again this week and her challenge is to use Silhouettes!
Originally I had a card all planned out, but then came across this free groovy template for a miniature suitcase at Mirkwood Designs and decided that a 3-dimensional setting would be more fun for a silhouette and then went one step further and turned it into an adorable little Christmas tree ornament. I'm including all the links so that you can make one too. They are so super easy!
The template, as is, will make this little box which measures 2.5"x 2", it's the perfect ornament size! I just used white cardstock and wood embossed the parts. Coloring it in with Bordering Blue and Bliss Blue ink then aging it with distress inks in Antique Linen and Vintage Photo. The pine cones are made from one TH Tattered Pine cones die and cut into three parts. The ivy, leaves and tree as well as pine cones were then painted with Gesso. Three cotton balls pulled and glued to the bottom of the suitcase where I've mounted the cute little boy and girl silhouette having a wintry sleigh ride together. I've spritzed the cotton balls with a water and glue mixture and then topped with fine glitter. All in all this took me about 30 minutes to make. How cute to have these covering your tree?
This silhouette is a custom made stamp, but there are so many wonderful silhouette images for free at the Graphics Fairy and Free Vintage Digital Stamps.
Please stop in to Our Creative Corner
and feast your eyes on the other wonderful silhouette makes by my teammates.
I thank you with all my heart for the most wonderful comments and visits.
Your time, friendship, and encouragement is so very much appreciated.
Have a wonderful day!

Hey Miss Lisa - this is such a creative idea and you are absolutely right. It will make a wonderful Christmas tree ornament and there are so many possibilities using this idea. Yep - it is pretty hard to be funny about something so wonderful!

HOLY WOW this is amazing! I Love it to bits! Snow is so much better when used in scrapping vs. real life. We drove home from my parents house this afternoon and ran into some. BRRRRRR!!!!!!
Oh Lisa - this is FABULOUS! You are too brilliant but then you go and put me in a bad mood by saying 30 minutes!!! Even if I were as talented as you (impossible) it would still take me hours! Anyway, this is a wonderful creation and thank-you for introduction to the fab template site. I shall return there for printouts... Have a really great week. Big hug, Nicola
