Does anyone have a sea turtle file? I'd like to do a stencil card with a sea turtle on the edge for a coworkers birthday. I'd prefer it be more realistic and not too cartoony. TIA Thanks for all the responses! The whole process of making this card made me want to throw my computer against the wall and turn the stereo full volume to Metallica's Master of Pupets and scream as loud as I could. Mostly b/c ATT sux (seriously, dialup woulda been faster!) and our internet kept going in and out while I tried to watch/download the Webinar. Then I had to master my Zing and figured out I was using the wrong blade the whole time and my blue blade holder is crappy and I have two brand new blades chipped to show for it. With my last blade and my last piece of green paper.... I didn't have everything -quite- right b/c I still had some hangers that tore the thin pieces of paper, but I'm super happy with it and I did lots n lots of node editing so I got practice w/ that as a bonus. I'm finally happy w/ Sir Zingsalot!
The ones I've looked at didn't have one so it may be possible I'm missing one. I did find one and after trying to watch the vimeo and the 4hrs downloading it (thanks crappy att internet service) I finally got it done. I work tomorrow so I'll have to cut it tomorrow night. But I'm proud of myself for doing it and I also did some node editing too! ::patsselfonback::
Looks great! Glad you didn't throw the computer or the Zing against the wall. Then you would have had worse then a bad blade holder, two bad blades and an Internet service you hated! ;) Great effort and glad you got it on your last piece of green paper. Extra Node editing practice - means quicker time of it next time! Looks good!

Looks great - glad you didn't give up. Once you master the idiosyncrasie of the ZING, you will never look back! I really like the image you ended up using.
I got to see a sea turtle on the black sand beach while in Hawaii last month. He was just enjoying the pleasant day!
The card looks great! love those stencil edges. But throwing computer bad. won't work after you pick it up. threw mine down basement stairs after tripping over cat, still looking for files in old back ups. cat still on my naughty list.

I have thought about throwing the cats before....the little demons.... ;)
