Set the stage: In may my husband SURPRISED me with a Silhouette Cameo for my birthday. (His normal gift-giving follows this scenario--I purchase it,and then I tell him what he's giving me.) Having mentioned a Cameo only a couple of times and not in any relation to my birthday, I was floored when this sweet, sweet man presented one for my birthday. Who knew he was even paying attention to my crafty conversation months before?
The Cameo Spotlight is a new challenge blog focusing on cards and the Silhouette. The theme of the first challenge is summer, and the design team has created some fantastic cards for inspiration.
Take the stage: There are so many delightful aspects to summer including colorful flowers in the garden and cool, refreshing ice cream.Using these Silhouette files: ice cream cone card file (8233) and the flower file (26929), I combined those two delights for my card.
And of course, a summer means gingham. (Of course, I can find a reason to use gingham in every season)
Smell the flowers, nibble on some ice cream, dive in the pool, or nap on the porch. Have a sweet summer day.
I have to say I would never have combined an ice cream cone, flower, leafy vine and a bow, but you made it work! Great card!
