Engraving Slate

On the Thyme Graphics Retreat this year we learnt how to engrave slate coasters. I know I've said it many many times before but I love the capabilities my Silver Bullet cutting machine has. It really is a case of anything you can think of you can do - and many things you'd never even considered! That's very much the case with this project. I used the skills we learnt to make this wedding keepsake for a friend's daughter & son-in-law.

Here's a close up of the engraving. I used words my friend chose.

From this angle you can see the variation in the depths of the engraving depending on the settings I used

I love being able to create individual unique things for people. 

Digi Galore Challenge - Summer

It's challenge time over at Digi Galore again. This fortnight the theme is Holidays and our sponsor is Sassy Studio Designs 

I decided to create a corner bookmark for a holiday journal for someone going on holiday to China. I used my Hougie Board to make the corner bookmark and China Honey from Sassy Studio Designs.

The background paper and tags are from a Papermania pack called Oriental Treasures. 

I coloured China Honey with my Promarkers 

and printed the words in a the free Shanghai font from DA Font and foiled it on my Foilmaster from Thyme Graphics
