When I thought of triangles for this week's Cameo Spotlight theme, I got an image of a southwest motif in my head. Maybe because I live in the southwest? Anyway, I opened my Silhouette Studio Designer software and got to work creating a cutting file that would capture my image of southwest triangles. I haven't created too many of my own files yet because the Silhouette Online store has so many great files to download. I have been pleasantly surprised how good the Silhouette Studio Designer software is. It manages to be both easy to use and powerful at the same time. I was able to create the frame for this card very quickly using the replicating and alignment tools. I downloaded the vase, flower and stems from the Silhouette store.
I think my favorite part of this card is the rik-rak trim on the vase. I was scrounging through my embellishment box and spottted this rik-rak which is the perfect shade of turquoise and helps repeat the turquoise triangles from the frame. I didn't even realize realize that I had a "Gracias" Stamp. I was on a sheet of clear "thank-you" stamps...I don't know which brand...and I found it while searching for the right stamp to use on the card. So "Gracias" to the Cameo Spotlight design team for a great theme!

Gorgeous card and what a great idea to use the triangles as a frame design. It's very southwest and really calming.
