While experimenting I was playing around using the Silhouette Curio sketch pens and fell head over heels in love again with this amazing function. Sure I have dabbled with it using the CAMEO, but just did not get into it as much as I would have liked to. But now oh now I am totally hooked on drawing all those beautiful images in my Library and finding new things to experiment with. So here\u2019s some grungy are cards that I whipped up using the Curio to add into some frames I have around the house&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card.jpg\" alt=\"Silhouette Curio Sketch - Card\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Card-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I used various designs to draw onto watercolour paper. I wanted a messy look for these little art works and since I tested the pens and found that they will bleed when they come into contact with water I was up for the challenge \u2013 finding the look I love so much.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Step 1<\/h4>\n<p>When you open your Curio, make sure to insert your sketch pen into holder number 1 (left side when facing your machine). Cut your water colour paper to size and place onto the cutting matt. Load the base into your machine. <em><strong>TIP:<\/strong> Remember to load and unload the base, press the load material button and pull the base out. When you press the button it is like the machine releases it and you can pull it out. To load the base again, simply push it in and until the arrow on the right side of the base plate is lined up, then press the load button again. The Curio loads the base to the exact same place each time.<\/em><\/li>\n<p><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1.jpg\" alt=\"Silhouette Curio Sketch - Step 1\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Silhouette-Curio-Sketch-Step-1-140x94.jpg 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<li>\n<h4>Step 2<\/h4>\n<p>Open the Silhouette software cut settings and select the Curio cutting mat.
