Silhouette Competition

By Partycraftsecrets @partycraftsecrt
It's no secret that silhouettes are back in fashion, and that I'm in love with them as much as the rest of you.  Traditionally made by cutting facial profiles out of black card, the idea has been extended to other shapes (such as yesterday's black cat) and techniques including screen printing and of course, the digital medium.
The silhouette (named after an austere minister called Étienne de Silhouette) was originally an economical way to capture someones likeness before photography was invented.  Today, using people's photos is the fastest way to create a silhouette.
To help personalise your party printpapers, and take your pretty parties to the next level, on the 15th of February I'm launching the silhouette printpaper package.  You get to chose from 12 different colour ways, and send me the photo of the party person (or photos of your family), and then I'll turn their photos into silhouettes, and their silhouettes into 9 template papers and 10 printables for you to use at your party, to make scrapbooking pages, or to frame and hang on the wall; whatever crafty thing you can think of.
The 12 colourways I created include;
* Party Dash         * Aqua Splash
* Super Sweet      * Ice-cream Treat
* Racing Cars       * Falling Stars
* Clearing Skies    * Irish Eyes
* Peaceful Dove    * Endless Love
* Asian Spice        * Berry Nice
When you chose which colour way you want, consider matching in with the person's favourite colour, your house decor, party theme, colour-scheme, or the holiday season (e.g. chose red and green for Christmas, or lots of red, pink and purple for Valentines).
To celebrate the launch on the 15th of next month, I'm giving away a package to a follower of this blog, and another to a follower on Facebook.  I'll get my daughters to choose from the pictures on each site; so if you're receiving update via feedburner or Networked blogs, please hit the 'join this site' for the google-friend connect button so that you can be in the running.   Good luck everyone!
