I needed a simple, small, white piece of artwork for something I am working on. I finally came up with an idea :)
Silhouette sent me some sketch pens to promote for this months sale. I am not going to lie, I was not excited. I had no clue what I was going to do with them! I have not scrapbooked in about 8 years and I don’t do a lot of crafting with paper. All the examples I saw online were cards, scrapbook pages, etc.
But, then I was brainstorming for another project and BOOM! I had an idea. Why not make some framed art???
You put the sketch pen in where the blade normally goes so instead of cutting, it draws. Remember the movie HUGO? I was not the biggest fan of the movie, but as I watched the Silhouette draw it made me think of the robot thing in the movie that sketched. I was fascinated!!! I was only planning on doing one picture and ended up doing about six! I am kind of addicted now.
The possibilities of framed art are endless. Bathroom art, kids room art, laundry room art……
So here are the details for the promotion this month:
Go to this link for the promotion: http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/blog-pen-4.aspx That is a savings of $75.00! And if you already have a Silhouette, you can buy the Sketch Pens for $6.99 :)
The sales goes until April 30th.
I love seeing what you did with your sketch pens. I got some for Christmas and I haven’t figured out what I want to do with them yet. This is great inspiration :)
Boooo! The standard colors of sketch pens are sold out. I went to order them after seeing your post, I love what you did with them. I also don’t do any scrap booking but had some inspiration after seeing what else can be done with them!
That framed photo is really pretty!

Ha, Ha. I agree that Hugo was a total dud. :)
The print came out cute. Good idea.
