Ship Ahoy !!!

Hi Everyone

Today I have a lovely lighthouse to share

 I added two Magnolia images, which I coloured using my Copic Markers.  Here's a close-up:

 I also added a couple of shell charms and an anchor charm, which I attached with twine,

I cut all the pieces for my lighthouse using my Silhouette Cameo and a file from svgcuts.com which you can find HERE.
The papers I used are from Grapic 45.
The charms and twine are from my stash.

Of course, every Lighthouse Keeper needs a cottage to live in, so I made a cottage too...

I'm going to enter this project into the following challenges:

If you have never used the Silhouette for glass etching here is a how to video.

Well, I have never used my Silhouette for glass etching, or done any glass etching before, so I thought I'd give it a go for our challenge.  I decided to make a dessert set - one large serving bowl and four smaller dessert bowls.  I chose a suitable image from the Silhouette Store, I then drew a rectangle around the design in order the made the template.  I then sized this suitable for the large bowl before reducing it to suit the size of the smaller bowls.  I cut my template using my Silhouette and then followed the glass etching instructions that come with the Glass Etching Starter Kit from Silhouette.

Here's the result

I really enjoyed glass etching and will definitely be doing it again!!
