I'm here today with a card for no reason. lol! Just a card. I made this cut on my Cameo yesterday with a leaf branch I found in the Silhouette store. I drew lines around to make the window and then cut out the whole card front around that and it came out like this...
On the card base behind, I added in some Fired Brick and Gathered Twig distress inks and then stamped some PTI Text Styles on top of that. A sentiment and some bling...and done!
Hope everyone is doing well. I am in shock that we are almost to Thanksgiving. I am already buying Christmas decorations. My tree is going up tonight....is that crazy? It's my most favorite holiday so I can't help myself. I bought some burlap and red mesh for the tree and I am going to make some monogramed ornaments too. Can't wait!
Hope you have a fab Friday! Thanks for looking today!
Laurie, this is absolutely stunning. I haven't figured out how to do that on my machine yet, still a beginner. You should sell that cut file I am sure people would buy it, I know I would.
