I’m really liking this design. It was a Facebook freebie from Cheryl’s Whimsical Inklings. The SVG was designed for use with a laser but was easy to adapt for use with paper. Just 3 lines had to be reset for cutting and a little resizing.

There are 2 or 3 layers for each cut to add stability since this sign is designed as a hanger. The top layer for the kraft colored base is embossed using a Craftwell 8.5×11 embossing folder. Sadly, Craftwell has closed shop and the folder is no longer available.

The frame was cut in a medium green paper and then inked with a Forest Green ink to add a little more dimension and depth of color. I used a paint pen for the splatters.

All of the other pieces of this design are 3 layers of stacked white cardstock, color added with inks from pads I have in my stash and additional details were added with the paint pen.

I really like how this turned out and while I’ve used some of Cheryl’s clipart on other projects through the years, I really do see how many of her laser cut files could transition into paper designs very easily with just a few clicks of the mouse using SCAL.

SideNote: Hop on over to KadoodleBug Designs as they have translated lots of the Whimsical Inking clipart files into SVGs for consumers.
