Happy Anniversary - Putting My Silhouette to the Test

Tomorrow is my sweet parents 47th wedding anniversary. I should've made this card several days ago when they were still here in the Bay Area so the card wouldn't be late (my biggest pet peeve). I guess I was having too much fun when they were here to work in my little studio.

Tonight I decided to take on Cath's Moxie Fab World Challenge: Diggin' on Doilies and Lace. This card, my friends, shows what the Silhouette machine can do! Yowser! This butterfly lace circle was cut with my Silhouette. It's by far the most complicated cut I've had my machine do.

I was going to put the numbers 47 on the card, but I didn't want to cover up the beautiful lace. I also propped up the entire lace layer on foam tape so it's not flat on the card front. I only wish I had used a plain cream cardstock instead of a confetti paper, because the "confetti" looks like stray ink marks. Oh well!

Well, have a good one. Thanks for stopping by!
