Fathers Day Card

Another Fathers Day card I made this year. This one was for my husband. I made it on a yellow blank card. For the background I used white card stock. I found an image of the tools on Google, and used it in my Silhouette program. I slightly etched the paper, then used the Silhouette pens to draw over the etch. Looks awesome in person, photo not so much. The two papers on top of that were some that I got at Michaels. The tools design on the front I also found on Google. I printed it up, and colored it using gel pens, the silver color sparkles!!! After that I hand cut it out (razor blade....lots of fun...o.k. not really, but it came out cute!) After the tools were colored and cut, I used gloss Modge Podge and painted over the whole tools image, and let it dry. I used some foam tape to attach the tools. For the wording I again used my Silhouette (LOVE MY SILHOUETTE!!!) I used red vinyl. I wasn't so sure about this card, but my husband ended up loving it.

Fathers Day 2017 train card

Created this Fathers Day card using an image I found on a google search. My step father loves trains, so I looked for an image that had a train drawing in black and white. I used my silhouette cameo to draw the train out, and colored it using colored pencils and gel pens. I used double sided foam tape to secure it to the card. I then cut a circle of bronze colored vinyl to frame the train. I also used my silhouette to cut the vinyl. If you look above the card, you can see the bottom of the envelope, on this I also used my silhouette, and silhouette pens. The image I found another simple train and track image on a google search. The Happy Fathers Day I stamped and then embossed.

Gorjuss Just For You Card

This card I made for a friend for her birthday. The beautiful image is one of my Gorjuss stamps, this one is Gorjuss Tweed Rubber Stamp - Waiting, and you can find it here http://www.markerpop.com/catalog/gorjuss-tweed-rubber-stamp-waiting.html  . I stamped her on white cardstock, and cut it to size. I then attached it to tan cardstock, and cut it a little bigger than the white. I colored the Gorjuss image with colored pencils. I used a white gel pen to add some light to her dark hair. The paper was from my scrap pile. The flower I cut using a flower design I found on the Silhouette store, and cut it with my Silhouette cameo. I secured the flower together with glue. The rest of the card I used double sided tape.  The center of the flower is a decorative pearl and below that is a butterfly. I purchased them both from Michaels. The wide white ribbon I purchased a long time ago from Walmart. The "just for you sentiment" is from an old stamp I had, but don...

Mad Hatter Spray Paint Art

This piece of art I created to enter into a contest. The contest rules was you had to create something using Oramask 813 Stencil Film purchased from    https://expressionsvinyl.com/ . I didn't win the contest :'-( but had fun making this piece anyway. What I used was a piece of semi smooth wood approximately 24"x18". I purchased the wood at Home Depot. The silhouette of the Mad Hatter (The Johnny Depp version) I found online. I transferred the silhouette into my Silhouette program, traced it in the program, and cut it with my Cameo. The Wording at the bottom is one of the scripts that came with my Silhouette program. I also cut it out with my Cameo. I then weeded the whole thing....it took a lot of time, but I think was worth it. I weeded it backwards, so there would be no film in the areas that I wanted the design to show. The only stencil I left was the stencil in the negative areas. Reason being this was to be applied to the wood and spray painted. First I add...
