Silhouette Cameo - Sketch pen Camera card

Happy Happy Independence Day, to my American Friends!

(and happy belated Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!)

So, have those of you with Silhouette machines tried the sketch function yet? (i Love it!)

The doodled camera on this card was a free Silhouette shape a few weeks ago (but if you missed it, and you like it, you can still purchase the camera sketch here). The Silhouette blog has a new free shape every week!

It was the first time I tried out the Silhouette sketch pen (I used black).

The most pleasant surprise about the sketch pens? Seconds after the machine is done
drawing, you can use Copic markers to colour your sketched image - with no bleeding!

I also glued some sequins on to give the impression of bokeh:

& a large silver sequin for the flash.

...I cut out a sentiment (that says "we CLICK!") using the Silhouette, as well:

If you'd like to use the sentiment cut file freebie, 
you can download it from here.

(Line envelopes & inside cards)
 

This photo is nothing glamorous, but it is a little something that I love to do

 with every card now, so I thought I'd share it with You. It's ultra simple:

Just line envelopes & the inside of cards to match each other.

For the envelope, I print a 7x7 sized pattern on copy paper (20lb) and I use this speedy method. And for the inside of the card I print the same pattern (but in A2 size) on affordable paper that's about 65lb (like Recollections or Staples brand). I find the weight balances the back of the card with the front. :)

Here is the new large monochromatic dot paper, in case you'd like to use it:

12.5 inch square ... &... letter size:

7 inch square & A2 card size:
