Interesting (and aggravating!) Challenge over at Flourishes, #243, Fussy Cutting Fun.....let's just say THEY added the word FUN, not I. hahahaha Oh I'm just kidding! It was fine. The more I did actually 'fussy cut' the more I wanted to get the whole image done, but even I know my limitations. So here is what I came up with. And yes, I do know I just used this beautiful floral image, but man it is just so GORGEOUS, I couldn't pass it by.
So a few layered panels of ivory and blue over a pretty patterned paper from My Mind's Eye, Stella Rose (a $2 bargain for a 6x6 pack!) Image colored with several Copic Markers and a few added center dots with a Sakura Glitter Pen, the flowers on the DP also have added dots to the itty bitty flowers. Some lace and Copic colored pearl adhesives. The sentiment is punched out with an EK Success 'label' punch twice for layering purposes. And I think that's all she wrote!
As always, thanks for popping in.
And remember there is plenty of time to check out this Challenge. And you do not need to use a Flourishes stamp in your project, however; if you do, your name will be entered twice.
Now, goooo, go check it out!
Enjoy~~
Well, you have been a very productive crafty girl and it shows! I bet this card is even better in person. Love the detail and the colors. But, you do not have a problem in that area. You keep turning out beautiful cards. I may get some time to get inky today, but not holding my breath.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card my dear. You did a fantastic job. I thought I was the only crazy lady that would attempt fussy cutting an image like this. lol
ReplyDeleteWow well done Donna! Good luck your card is beautiful
ReplyDeleteYou do know how to rock your cards!!!!!!!! (and more exclamation marks!) I just love your fussy cut, colored, beautiful flowers, the just-right colored bling, the punched twice sentiment label and how on earth did you find a 6x6 for $2???? Pray, tell! ♥
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous....and such a fussy cut challenge!! Haha!!! I mean it's challenging to fussy cut something so intricate. I love your coloring and you are right, that image is stunning. Love this card...I knew you would do something like this for Flourishes.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a gorgeous creation my dear! Love that stamp set from Flourishes so gorgeous! Love the DP you used the touch of lace makes it even more gorgeous! I knew about the thing to use a cut file but didn't make one for it yet. I have a pair of embroidered scissors that's what I use to cut my fussy cut images there curvy so they work perfect for an image like that one that is so delicate ,but I didn't mess it up. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the sweet comment!
ReplyDeleteThat is surely a LOT of fussy cutting! But I agree...it's such a gorgeous image! And I love your lace border! Thanks for joining us for the Flourishes Fussy Cutting challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! What a lot of work, but it was SO worth it! This card is absolutely gorgeous!
