runaways

I'm really enjoying the 'hint of gold' trend at the moment. I repurposed the gold ribbon from a gift and thought it perfect to work with this LO. I must admit, the ribbon gives the whole LO a bit more than 'a hint' of gold, but I still love it.

The gold self adhesive glitter paper went through the Silhouette like butter. I googled around a bit and learnt to make sure that the glitter does not rub off the paper with a finger rub test. I didn't want glitter to contaminate my machine. I also learnt to to flip whatever it is I'm cutting and cut it on the back of the glitter paper. I don't know why, but it worked a treat, so I'm sticking with that tip.
