Birthday Card using my latest toy...

For Christmas this year I bought myself a Silhouette SD. It's sorta like a Cricut but you just hook it up to your 'puter and it will cut anything you tell it to....fonts, images, line drawings, anything you want. Love it!!!



I wanted to make a birthday card for my friend Carol Vann, and I had this idea in my head.



Turned out pretty much as I pictured it...which is saying a lot for me. Usually I have a very hard time translating what I see in my head with what I can actually make the paper and ink do. KWIM? The machine had a wee bit of trouble with tiny ends of the branches, but I just needed the main parts to mount the flowers on. Looks sorta like cherry blossoms.

Happy birthday, Carol!!



Enjoy!
