Rosette Card

I created this card using my Silhouette to cut  out the rosette and borders. The rosette reminds me of the large rose stained glass window behind the choir loft of the church where I was married.  The Cathedral of Christ the King in Hamilton (where I occasionally sing with the diocesan choir) also has a gorgeous rose stained glass window. 

The  patterned paper was from a pad purchased at the dollar store! 

Gift Wrapping Embellishment

I recently wrapped this large gift and wanted to decorate the package without using the usual large bow.  Instead, I cut embellishments using my Silhouette.  I used flourishes cut from green cardstock and cut   3 large flowers  (with a rhinestone centre) in colours that complemented the colours found in the wrapping paper.  I think odd numbers of embellishments look better than even.  Don't you agree?

One advantage to using a flat embellishment rather than a bow is that you do not have to worry about the decoration getting squashed in transit!

Wedding Card

My daughter attended a wedding a while ago, and I offered to create a special wedding card for the occasion. The card and embellishment were cut out using my Silhouette.  The sentiment is a Stamp'n Up stamp that belongs to a set that I won from Stamp4fun .   Thanks again, Lynda and Tammy!
