... And here is my card for today :)
This card was loads of fun to make, and surprisingly quick (Copic colouring aside :) ).
I absolutely LOVE fussy cutting, and as Xpress Blend paper is *slightly* dearer than plain paper, it is a great way to maximise your paper usage, so that is my TIP for the week. So I have fussy cut little CC Designs Swiss Pixies Cute Birgitta and mounted her onto Fancy Pants "Beach Babe" papers.
Here is a close-up of Birgitta
I don't have the list of Copic colours I used handy, but if you would like to know, please leave me a comment and I will work it out and get back to you :)
The rest of the materials used are:
Sweet Shoppe "Sugar On Top" papers
Pink Grosgrain ribbon - HOW GOOD IS THAT STUFF?!?!?!
Heart buttons (to make the flower, and then either side of the sentiment)
And Martha Steward Scalloped-edge punch - another AWESOME product!
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Jess thanks for the mention in your write-up, the cards you enter into TTT each week deserve all the fab comments they get :)
ReplyDeleteThis card is sooo sweet but I'm afraid I've not come across 'fussy cutting'.....please enlighten me! ...although I have an idea, but at the risk of coming across totally silly I'll wait for your answer ;)
Thanks for joining in with our 'Make it Girlie' challenge over at Top Tip Tuesday this week - and don't forget, if you share a tip with us on your blog too you could win another prize!

Hi Carol
ReplyDelete"Fussy cutting" is when you cut exactly around something, rather than just cut a square/circle/oval, etc with the character in the middle. So for my card, I cut out Birgitta precisely, and mounted her onto card, so it looks like she is sitting on the stripe.
Hope that helps! :)
