Silhouettes for Less Is More

Hi, I didn't plan on posting anything else today, however I've just seen the new Less Is More challenge theme of Silhouettes and wish I'd uploaded Dasher a little bit later in the day!  Ah well, never mind.  Here is my entry for LIM:


A close up of the colours in the gilding flakes
I've used the gilding flakes again, which I must say I'm becoming very fond of, and the stamp, from Penny Black, is one I acquired last Christmas with a magazine subscription.  I mounted the image on a home-made green tag which I cut too small for a different project.  I decided to leave the tab peeking out the side (although I'm not quite sure why!).

I would also like to enter this in Wags n Whiskers challenge as they are looking for Christmas Themed projects at the moment.

Bye for now

I must admit that a gilded silhouette is a trifle novel, but it looks great!
Thanks so much
