its a halloween challenge on Magnolia-licious with a fab photo to inspire you:
As usual for me i took the photo literally and made a card to suit the theme:
I had seen someone silhouette their images before and stored the idea away in the recesses of my grey matter specifically for to do this silhouette for halloween when the time came, but do you think i remeber where i saw it? If you have seen this before it is not my idea, i stole the idea, but i so still think it works really well for this theme. Ok here is is, thank you Maz for pointing me in the right direction and now that i have been back to take a look the original is far better than mine. original idea by Patti Jo here.
I used a MS iron fence for the border around my images and a few flowers to hold the design together.
The image is item #334 Brother and sister available from Magnolia-licious store where Diana give you exceptional service and some fabulous discounts, you certainly will not be dissapointed. Unfortunately i didnt have any halloween dp so made my own drawing spiders and webs and then made a web for the inside of my card also.
Do join us in our fortnight challenge and i look forward to seeing what you cleverly crafted people come up with.
To all my fellow Jewish peers, i would like to wish you all a Shana Tova vemetukah, A very sweet new year.

Hi,Paola, this is fabulous and would love to give it a try to:) Since the coloring takes the most time I would definitely go much faster with some of these original creations:) Also, love the papers and embellies and the wonderful flower cluster. Great work!

Love the moon and the wrought iron framing!!! Perfect for this scene! Funny how Tilda and Edwin in silhouette can either look romantic in an anniversary card or that Edwin is protecting Tilda in your great Halloween scene! Or is that in my mind???!!! :) Great job on your card Paola, terrific job inside and out!!!
