How to Offset with the Silhouette

Argh Matey! Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun.   As I’m writing this post, I’m thinking this Pirate Pallet Art would also be a great Halloween project!   Skull and Cross bones are totally Halloween.   Just remove the sticker sentiment or change it up a bit and you’ve got yourself a Jolly Roger Halloween decoration.  I also wanted to  show you how easy it is to use the Offset function with the Silhouette.

This Pirate’s Pallet Art is made with  pallet wood {duh!} Echo Park Paper Pirates’s Life kit and a Silhouette cut-file.  

Whitwashed Pallet

 

I had small  pieces of scrap pallet wood laying around so I glued two boards  together with Gorilla Glue and gave them a little whitewashing with Decoart paint.

 

How to offset a Skull and Crossbones cut file with the @silhouetteamerica

 

 

I chose  an Echo Park Skull and Crossbones cut file from the Silhouette Store and offset-ed the file with patterned paper.  I love to offset cut files.  It’s so easy to do and provides the cut file with dimension too.

 

How to layer any cut file with the Silhouette by using the Offset function

 

To offset your cut file, click on the image and then click offset function.    You can re-size the offset to what ever you like.  I usually re-size my offset  to 1 inch.

 

Pirate's Life Stickers from @echoparkpaper

 

After I adhered the cut file on to the pallet, I wrapped hemp cord around the bottom and adhered a Pirate’s Life Element Sticker on the front. Like I said, you could total skip a sticker and use a Halloween embellishment.

Love how this Pirate Pallet Art turned out and adding cut files on to wood is another media to consider rather than just using paint.  Plus, paper is pretty easy to  remove which leaves you with more opportunities to create with your pallet.
