snowangel

I splashed out this week and bought me an early Christmas present, a Silhouette Cameo. Off course I've been testing it ever since. And I've managed to find the right settings to cut through my transparencies to create stencils, big hoera!! (and lucky as this was the main purpose for investing in it in the first place)
As this week challenge over at The Craft Barn is snowflakes I downloaded a snowflake background and let the machine do its work, the results are amazing, how it's able to cut even the most intricate designs.
I started out with a 12x12 piece of patterned paper and sprayed some Dylusions ink through my brand new stencil


Looking FAB!
I stamped different snowflake stamps all over in different shades of blue, black and white.
I cut a piece of this 12x12 to fit in my journal and punched a snowflake border top and bottom.
I used a picture of my son in the snow as a focal image. This picture is from last year, we don't often get snow here but we drove 1.5 hour south (to the ardens) and there you have some hills with snow, so you can go sledding, walking or cross country skiing.
My son loves to make angels, whether it being snow angels or sand angels J


The winter fun is also cut with the cameo.
You'll definitely see more projects in the future using the cameo because I just might have fallen in love with it (hopefully the love stays).
