For The Cameo Spotlight's
Numbers Challenge I wanted to take a "number" occasion, such as a milestone birthday or anniversary and do something fun with it. I settled pretty quickly on a 50th anniversary card and after a quick pencil sketch of a couple of ideas settled on turning the numbers "5" and "0" into a bride and groom.
I found the moustache, top hat and lip files at the
Silhouette Online store and typed the numbers using a font called Uighur. For the eyelashes, I took a studio file of a moon (also from the Silhouette Online store) with eyelashes and cut the eyelashes from the image. This gave me a great opportunity to learn more about editing paths in Studio. I'm already familiar with paths from Photoshop, but doing it in the Silhouette software is just a little different.
I had fun creating the veil from some toule and a sprig of beads I had in my miscellaneous box. I also had this interesting piece of lacy fiber...not quite fabric but not paper...with a nice formal floral pattern on it. I used that, layered with some gold-toned cardstock for contrast, as the background for the numbers and then framed the numbers with more gold (I cut the frame on the Cameo!)and layered everything on black for a formal feel.
