For today's letter prompt I've gone with one of my favourite techniques... "fussy cutting", which is the term we use in paper craft to describe cutting around a stamped or printed image.
YOUR TURN: Create a card using the letter "F" as your prompt.

Beccy, this looks more like a framed holiday decor item than a card - it's absolutely stunning! The fancy frame (more F's!), decoupage layers, and beautiful bow with bling combine to make this a real showpiece! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Wish my "fussy cutting" looked as neat as yours---sometimes mine seems to be more like "fuzzy cutting"!
ReplyDeleteFabulous fussy cutting!
ReplyDeleteOh! You forgot FLOWERS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI must admit Fussy cutting is one of my favourite 'things' in crafting, it's so relaxing and especially when a decoupage is involved.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card Beccy! Love that background die you used and your fussy cutting is perfect for this image! That buckle with your pretty ribbon really sets the card off nicely. Silver Bells is one of my favorite Christmas songs. Maybe because I sang it in high school and strolled around the stage in period costumes. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning in its simplicity, Beccy! Love that bow and your frame is gorgeous.
ReplyDeletethat is gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteDelightful card Beccy!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your image and layers, the colours, colouring and dimension delight, as does your shiny ornate frame ... FANCY and FABULOUS!
I love fussy cutting my images, my hands don't like it but I really enjoy how it allows for even more creative options and dimension :)
What a perfect piece of art! Lovely colors and cutting and layers on my!
