Baker Card

My son was a baker recently in a school play, so I made him this card using my Silhouette:

On the inside there is a loaf of bread:

The 'baker' is a Pizza Chef shape from Silhouette America.  The croissant and bread I found on a free SVG site.

Finger Puppet

I saw these really cute finger puppet patterns on Etsy, so I bought one and made a dog!.  I attached it to the front of a card I made using the Silhouette Sketch pens:

Friendship bracelet

I love this sketch available from the Silhouette store.  After I made a card using the sketch, I was inspired by the many tutorials on Pinterest for making friendship bracelets.  I used the bracelet as part of the hair. It is tied to the card using a bow (pink thread), so it can be removed.

  I added some glitter to the card using a Wink of Stella pen.

Supplies:

Silhouette:  Rapunzel sketch, font

Other: Thread - DMC, Winik of Stella Brush - Zig

AEI{heart}U Challenge #3

The latest Avery Elle challenge is Ombre / Gradient:

I used the cake stamp from the set "Fanfare" and watercolours to create the gradient effect. The sequins started out clear and I coloured them with various copic markers, again to create a gradient.

I cut the bow and cake out by hand (because I couldn't keep the watercolour in between the lines!).

Supplies:

Stamps:  Fanfare, Oh Happy Day - Avery Elle 

Ink:  Gold - VersaColor, Black - Tsukineko

Others: watercolours, sequins, copic markers RV02, RV04, gold pen
