Hi everyone! Cathy here with you today to share a quick tutorial to create this fun layout with Lori’s new sketch files and my Silhouette Sketch pens. These are the files I used… sketch flower (silhouette), Sketch Flower 2 (Silhouette), Sketch Leaf (Silhouette) and Sketch Circles (Silhouette). You can find them in SVG format in a bundle, Easter Sketch bundle and the Wedding Sketch Bundle.
First add the circle sketch to your mat and size it the size you would like, then center it on your mat. I wanted to kind of get an idea of how it would look so I changed my line colors.
Next add in the rest of your sketch files and size as you wish. Again, I changed the line color so I could get a general idea and feel for the layout. I tried out a number of different layouts before I came up with my final plan.
Separate and move all the files off to the side except for the circle sketch. Then switch out your blade for a sketch pen in your color choice and let your Silhouette go to work drawing the circle on your background paper. I love using the pens, so much fun! If you need help with using the sketch pens, there is a tutorial here on Lori’s Blog.
I removed the background paper, and added a new, white paper to my mat for the other designs. Add your other sketch shapes to your mat and let the pens do the work. After you have completed the sketches, make sure not to remove your mat. Leave it right where it goes back to after it sketches. Then switch out your pen for the blade again and offset your shapes with the offset feature.
One more step and your on your way to layering and creating your layout. Offset your images, remove the inside (the original sketch) just click on the inside and pull it away. I find this easier than selecting the no cut line…seems like I always forget and ruin my project.
Once they are all cut out, layer them on your layout! Thanks for stopping by today!
This is so lovely, I had even thought of cutting out the sketches. Thank you.
