Thursday's With Meljen's Designs.

Happy Thursday everyone!!  I'm off of work until next Tuesday. Took a little vacation; not doing anything special but needed a nice break. We are going to my sisters on Friday for the 4th of July. Other than that I will be staying at home unless it cools down a bit LOL!  It's so hot!!

On to today's challenge. Today is the new challenge at Meljen's Designs --Challenge #217: Button It Up! I made a shaped card ... using my Silhouette! I'm so excited! I have had it sitting here for a couple of weeks and today I decided to get busy trying to figure it out and I'm so excited I bought it! So, this is my first shot using it and here is what I came up with:







The bottle card was created using the Silhouette. The stitched circle die is from My Favorite Things. The image is Little Baby Dragon which you can of course find at the Meljen's Designs Shop. I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I decoupaged his cute little feet and his head. I added the ribbon, the twine and the buttons to finish it off. The Congratulations is a stamp and the Baby Boy on the inside was also cut with the Silhouette. I added a bit of chalk to the pink top of the bottle around the edge and the nipple and blue chalk on the blue strip to add a little bit of depth. I'm really pleased with how my first shot with the Silhouette came out!
