Please note:
opening the files in the Silhouette Studio software is best. Opening
in other software like SCAL or ECAL etc, may change some of the
score/cut lines.
I opened the "Chalkboard
Easel" Silhouette file in Sure
Cuts A Lot software and yes a score line became a cut line which I
had to adjust by welding small rectangles over the cut lines.
Increased the image size of the
chalkboard easel to 10.5"h keeping the proportions. Ungrouped
the items and moved the square that will become the chalkboard to
page 2. Also copied and pasted the chalkboard opening to page 2 -
making it a shadow layer increased by 1.5mm border (it will be used on the
inside of card). Cut the easel part from a textured beige/light
brown toned cardstock.
On page 2, I opened the
"fedora" increasing the file size to 5.1" w, again keeping
the proportions. Also opened the "Daddy & Me" file,
ungrouping it and deleting the "and" and "me" words. Increased
the word "Daddy" to 6.5"w. Cut all from white
cardstock. Trimmed down the excess letters from Daddy to leave only
"Dad".
The "Dad" word - Inked the
crackle background using Versafine "Vintage Sepia",
stamped and embossed with Queen's Gold embossing powder. Used
Distress stains, swiping the colors randomly ("Shabby
Shutters", "Broken China", "Mowed Lawn",
& "Crushed Olive")
The Fedora: sponged with a dirty
yellow sponge all over, then direct to paper with "Antique
Linen". It gave a nice mottled look almost like parchment. The
hat details I hit direct to paper with "Frayed Burlap".
Adhered to fedora adding the real feather in the band.
The chalkboard square was painted
with a dark brown chalkboard paint (something I've had for eons...).
Applied 2 thin coats, and dried. Adhered to back of card
front.

Cut
the sentiment stamp between the word "are" and
"the" (you could use a stamp positioner instead...) and
placed them on my acrylic block. Inked with Distress Picket Fence,
stamped and embossed with detail white embossing powder. Adhered
the "Dad" to the top of the card front. The
"Fedora" onto the chalkboard.
