A challenge submission for Silhouette Plus Forum


Hi and Happy Thursday, this is for a design challenge at the Silhouette Plus Forum, I am doing it on my blog because my computer will not let me do a screen shot and because my computer is so touchy I cannot download any new progs from online that would assist. Some day there will be a brand new Mac sitting here and all my prayers will have been answered, lol. I probably should be careful, don't want the computer to think I am bad mouthing it, I did bad mouth my printer the other day and it is now in the junk heap, yep it died, toasted, it was a 3 in one and the scanner went out, hmmmm, I wonder why, maybe cause I will scan anything that doesn't move, and if it is slow I wouldn't be opposed to doing live scans, lol.  Okay on to the challenge.


For the challenge I designed an envelope seal.  I know it is no feat of porportion but since I played a little with the knife when I first installed the Silhouette and it was awful, or maybe it was that I was awful, anyway I have been a little leary of it ever since and decided to start small and work up.

 first set of steps taken, I chose the "fastner & photo corner" #20531 from the Silhouette Library.  Deleted the photo corner.  Then cut the fastener with knife and deleted the lower portion.




I then replicated and mirrored down the image and welded them.  After the weld was done I did some point editing on the lower lip.  I then filled the lips with pink and set it up as a print and cut.



I then cut them out and used Copic markers to give definition and more color.  And that is my project.  Have a great day and hugs
