You totally captured the mood of a silhouette with the deep and dusty purple background!

I didn’t start with that dark paper but once I tried it was totally sold. I am regularly surprised by what can happen with a different background and only rarely stay with my first choice. This is part of what I love about digital scrapbooking.

It was a delightful location. We sat on one of the benches under the trees while waiting for better silhouette lighting. I took the right photo (that’s my husband) from the bench while I was “testing” the process. I’ve not had much success with silhouettes before. Like much of photography it requires the correct light, timing and patience.

Wonderful photos, love how you have complemented them with your choice of colour palette. I really like the painty leaves in the background.

Thank you. At first I thought that paper was too much but then I tried it and didn’t look back.
