Day 338: Dreamweaver Cameo Silhouette Embossed on The Big Shot

Today I used a core'dinations "white wash" collection paper with a black core and a Dreamweaver brass cameo stencil to create the cameo silhouette below.  I cut it out using the ovals die by Sizzix and my Big Shot. I embossed the image before I cut it out, so I accidentally cut off some of the design on the right side.  I will probably just save it and use it in a collage where I can hide the mistake under another image. I used a thick emery board to sand off the white wash to show the black core of the paper.  I wanted to use black because traditionally a silhouette is a black image on a white background, but I think this would be pretty in a variety of the core'dinations colored papers.
