Skate boarding...

I recently bought this fabulous blue mirri card from the craft stall on my local market and was over the moon to discover it cuts like a dream on my Silhouette machine. 
To create this design I printed the sentiment on acetate and then attached the skate boarder and blue frame to the acetate.  This was then mounted onto embossed silver mirri card.  A very thin layer of black paper edges the silver just to make it pop.  I used the blue mirri card to cover a plain white card blank which became my base card.

Materials...

  • Cutting files from Silhouette store - sorry no numbers, but if you put skate board in the search this design comes up.  The frame is also in the store, but would be fairly easy to create yourself if you had time.  I was just plain lazy.
  • blue and silver mirri card
  • A4 embossing folder
  • black paper for matting
  • acetate printed with sentiment
  • white base card
