Scherenschnitte

For Amy's birthday I decided to try a scherenschnitte, or in my terms paper cutting. This is the website I've been looking at about it, http://papercutting.blogspot.com/. I've been into silhouette pictures lately and so I thought I would try something new, and especially since Dave is leaving for a year, I thought she might like it. I first took the following picture of Amy and Dave, printed it out, traced them, and then cut them out with a x-acto knife on black cardstock. Then, I put their picture on top of the second picture below to get the whole floral design, and then added "Love" in the middle. I cut it all out and then put it on scrapbook paper for the background. Sorry my picture turned out a little dark. If you're an artist you can really make up a lot of cool designs of your own, but I'll probably stick with templates.
