Here is my card for this month's challenge.
I started by covering an 12 x 12 cm sheet with various sized stars and cut them as a stencil from a sheet of mylar, using my silhouette cameo. I then used small areas of it to stencil some stars on the top corners of plain white base cards. I added a setiment using an old Stampin'up stamp.
The silhouette I used for the image was purchased from the silhouette store. It was all black but I used the inbuilt software to downsize it to fit a 13.5cm square card, and separate the elements. I could then cut them in different colours of vinyl. Once the design is ready it is just as easy to cut several of them as one, so I made nine sets of each element. I am good at losing these pieces when I cut a lot, so I stored them all in a tin until I was ready to assemble them.
Soon I had nine, almost identical cards to join my stash. I am doing well so far this year.
So now I will link this up with the Rudolph Day Challenge.
Hi Kate

Wonderful card Kate, and good idea to put all the bits in a tin…..I’m always losing small pieces. You’re amazing with the machines and getting ahead for Christmas. Happy Rudolph Day xxx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and clever card Kate. I'm in awe at your use of vinyl, I really must try again to add them to a card. Great stencil too. What thickness Mylar do you use? I've only used laminating sheets. Hope all is well
