Scrapbook Matting Techniques: Silhouette cropping.

It can be tough to come up with creative new scrapbook techniques to keep your pages lively and unique. Try using silhouette cropping. To give a silhouetted photo "oomph", don't cut right to the edge of the subject. Leave about 1-2 millimeters of the background surrounding the subject. Depending on the background color this will give the appearance that the subject is mounted.
