January 14, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Silhouettes are one of the hot trends right now, and I’m really digging these smile-inducing silhouette greeting cards from Paper Relics. The “Here Comes the Bride” card is so clever and fun! They also create fantastic custom cake toppers (bottom left shown above) from vintage images and carry many other whimsical greeting cards and vintage inspired ephemera.
