Todays card is another from play day on Sunday while Griff watched F1 on TV
I have added this one because with yesterdays card I mentioned that I have Fussy Cut the flowers and I have been asked to explain what I mean
Fussy cutting is just cutting around your image but not following closely the exact edge
If you can see in this photo that although the rose and leaves are cut out from the rest of the paper I have still got a white edge around it all
It just makes cutting out a little easier because cutting out is on a par with stamping and is something I am not very keen on
So this card is created with the hinge at the top and is 5x7" I have layered it up with yellow and white
The sentiment has been stamped and heat embossed and the embossing folder from Crafters Companion fitted around it
The image is colored with Spectrum Noir and then raised on foam pads to add it to the card front.
Colors Used:
Leaves: DG2 DG4 CG1
Flower: CT1 CT3 CT4
Shadow: IG1
And that is all there is to this card
More tomorrow ...

Love the C&S look of this card Christina. I don't enjoy cutting around images either, I always think it looks a mess when I'm finished although I can manage OK when I leave a little border. Pat x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Christina, I really like this card as it brings back happy memories learning to cut out a few years back. In the end I settled for the odd piece left on, and no one complained. Nice to see yellow, is it growing on you a little? X Ros

ReplyDeleteYour card turned out really nice...you dd an awesome job on fussy cutting.
Well done Christina
Lovely card Christina I have the embossing folder and have used it many times . I wish I could colour as well as you do !xxx
ReplyDeleteOnce your colouring and fussy cutting was done this looks like a quick card to put together, very pretty. I do a fair bit of fussy cutting but a die that fits around the image always looks so much nicer. I do love the colours you have used on your flower. Dianne Crowe
