i've been meaning to do this custom paper silhouette project for the mister in time for his birthday but i got swept up by an unexpected workload and pre-birthday celebrations for him that its only now i got to finish it.

i got the frames from a friend's mother-in-law who was spring cleaning her house.  it was very dirty but i managed to clean it up.  i would have wanted to paint the frames white too but not now... maybe next time.

i've had the yellow and lime stripey paper for a time now ever since i bought a bunch of them from a shop that was closing down about 3 years ago.  

i used a Design Sponge tutorial for this which you can find here
the mister loves it, by the way :)
