I’m so happy to be sharing another Silhouette project and promotion with you today. Have you ever wanted to print something in white? Of course that isn’t something your printer can do. You can create this look with the Silhouette Sketch Pens.
The Silhouette Sketch Pens are just little pens that you can use in place of your blade in your Silhouette machine. They can create text, draw doodles, or sketch things out for you. Most of these things you can do with a printer, but it creates a unique hand drawn look, and even embosses the paper where it draws.
2. Now you can click on the text, and delete it. Then load your cardstock, make sure your blade is in and you have the proper settings, and then send to your Silhouette.
3. Do not unload the cutting mat! Click undo, so that your screen shows the text and box again, then click on the box and delete it, so that you are just left with the text. Load your Silhouette with a sketch pen (I used white), make sure you are on the right Sketch Pen settings, and then send to your Silhouette.
4. Take out your paper. The white did not show up nearly as white as I wanted, but it created a wonderful embossed outline of the lettering. I decided to use a white paint pen to make a more dramatic white text. (It was really easy to fill in the letters, because of the large indentations the sketch pens created.)
5. Let it dry, and assemble. Add a ribbon or other embellishments.
What a great use for the Silhouette sketch pens! I'm definitely going to try this technique. Thanks for the creative idea, Rachel!
Warmly,
Lauren
