Easter Silhouette Cards from Putti's art work

Lot of painting, drawing and scribbling happen at our house always. I love watching my little artist do it. Most of them end up on her art wall where they are displayed for a month more or less before being rotated. But, I wonder what in the world I was supposed to do with all her art pieces. Too many to save. See how I upcycle some of them to make wall art and cards. This time I made them into Easter cards for her teachers and some friends who celebrate it.
They are very easy to make. Picked out couple of putti's art work.  
 Google searched for animal shapes/templates, printed the ones i liked and traced the outline onto the back of Putti's art and cut. Glued them onto folded card stock paper, printed message inside and the cards were ready!!


  I have made this butterfly and fish in the same way which are now displayed in her room wall !!
