Make A Wish

It's a Happy Birthday challenge on the Sassy Cheryls Challenge Blog this week. OWH ALWAYS needs birthday cards, so this was a challenge I didn't need to miss.

This image is called Avery Celebrates with Cake and is of course from the Sassy Cheryls Store. I've colored her with Copics.

This entire project was made using my Silhouette Cameo and the features of the Design Studio to create all the papers, the balloon border, embellishments and even to cut out the image. The story behind this is that I printed out four images and colored them before I cut them out with the Silhouette. I decided to make sure it was going to cut right before I put my colored images in the Cameo. What I learned was is that if you stop the Cameo and cancel the cut an DON'T switch it off and back on, the next thing you cut will not cut out in the right place. Yep, all four images were ruined. I ended up cutting and coloring them individually after that disaster. I guess I needed practice on my coloring.

Off to get this posted and entered in the challenge. I'm trying to get my entry in a bit earlier this week, and at least I have an entry, as I've missed the last two challenges.

Thanks for stopping by.
