Wild Thing–I think I love you so….

I had a little play with the Silhouette Sketch Pens today and wanted to show you the results, this was my first play with them so I created the card from start to finish with the Silhouette Portrait.

I looked in the Silhouette Shop for a sketch image and found and thought that this one was pretty cool.

I love the shades, once my image was selected I sized it to what I wanted  and then though I needed some sort of sentiment and as I couldn’t get this song out of my head I used it to my advantage for the wording on the card, I found a font that worked well with the image and added it to the image sheet to sketched with it.

I used the offset function on the silhouette software to cut out around both the image and the wording and then used it once more on the wording to cut around it with black card.

The pens worked effortlessly to draw the image, I was very impressed, I took a video of it at work so that you could see it in action.

The image that I used had been specifically designed for use with the silhouette cutter, please make sure that any image you are planning to use in this way that the creator is alright for you to do this.

Silhouette Sketch Pens

My boss bought me a full set of the Silhouette Sketch Pens, I'm thinking digi stamps and being able to print them in any colour, I may even get our artist at Just Inklined to make some digi stamps especially for these multi layered allowing me to change colours between layers, the beauty of this will be that once sketched out I'll be able to cut out the stamp too. I'm quite looking forward to playing with these babies.

 

 

Stink Eye

Finally got this little guy made up into a card.

Stink Eye Boy from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

and yes, he’s full of character.

 

Our Jack (Grandson) pull faces just like this and for the record…. we find it adorable.

Colour with Copic Markers and chalk pencils and teamed with E.P.Scoot designer paper and a few buttons and twine.

You should have landed on my blog from Mina if not then start at the beginning so you don’t miss anyone.

I want no puns that this will be me in a few years time but I did however feel myself drawn to this image because of the bicycle.

Mummu’s Bike from Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I took distressing to the max using blending techniques with Pan Pastels, embossing, tearing, rolling, fraying etc…

I know what you are thinking, that could be my backside and yes after the Christmas snacking I have to get right back on my bike to work it off again ha ha!

I used Copics and Chalks to colour the image, papers from the Good life Scrapbook pad some gems, Pan Pastels, embossing folder from Crafters Companion amongst other bits and pieces.

Next up is Gretha and she will have something pretty amazing to show you.

Dont forget to leave comments on the blogs you visit for a chance of a $5 store credit
