QKR Stampede 3 of Something Challenge




March 1st already?  
Yes, spring won't be too far behind here in SD;) and for my project
today I have broken out the old bright colors from SU.
I know.  I have a bundle left, it was my fave color family for years.

There is also a new challenge from
This week you are to use 3 of something.
It can be 3 images, 3 embellies etc...
Come out and play with us this week we would love to have you.

 Here is my DT Creation for your inspiration, using 3 stars...

I used
from 

For my stars I used Adobe Illustrator CS6 and I used the roughen style effect on the star edges.
I then saved the file as a PDF, opened it in PSE saved it as a PNG and imported it into the
Silhouette Cameo Design Software.
Awesomesauce effect, I love the outcome;)

Here is the CS6 screen shot showing the effect....
Now the file as I worked with it in PSE making it a PNG file...

 Now the PNG file is open in the Silhouette Cameo design software
and I am set to trace the outer edges...
 Below you can see how the stars were traced (I did move the tracing down, it sits on the stars and you would not have been able to see it)....

Now the final cut file for the Silhouette Cameo, I cut this out
three times each on a separate color.  When I was done I was able to complete 3 cards.

You can find this image and many more when you shop
