Simple Silhouette Flower Embellishment

Hello everyone!  Long time no see.  Or should I say long time no post?  I have been extremely busy, as summer's usually are, and crafting time has been at a premium.  I have been doing lots of things in my yard and that has taken up so much time.  Lots of time, but well worth it.  I also moved a bunch of furniture around and made a couple of changes in the Sunroom Studio, but all that came to a screaming halt when my wrist started acting up.  I have been wearing a brace on it, which helps, but basically it is just going to take time to heal..  I was able to put make a small project with my Silhouette, though, and wanted to share that with you today.  You know, just so you all know I am still alive and kickin', er, craftin'!  :-) 

I needed a mirror or compact to keep at my desk in my office at the mortuary for those last second touch-ups and I wanted to keep it out on a shelf to make it easy to grab when needed; but I also wanted it to be cute.  Sooooooo, I found a simple flower pattern in my Silhouette Studio program and made three copies of it on the art board.  Next I graduated the sizes so there would be a large, medium, and small copy.  I chose my paper, loaded into the Sil, adjusted the settings and hit the cut button. (and I swear, I still get a thrill watching that thing cut!!) ---- ya I know --- get a life, right?  :-)  Once cut I stacked all three images from largest to smallest, attaching each successive one with Zip Dry glue.  I finished the flower off with a button for the center and then attached to the top of the compact with more Zip Dry.  Simple and cute and since it will not be stashed in a drawer or purse it should stay nice and pretty. 

I'm hoping to take a couple of hours and go enjoy the last installment of Harry Potter tomorrow afternoon.  Have you seen it?  

Enjoy your Sunday and, as always, thank you for stopping by.
