Well this was a new technique for me. I’d attempted it before but you really need a very good pair of scissors to cut cleanly! SU’s paper snips are great! I’ve had a fair few pairs of scissors from many different places and can honestly say these are by far the best!
Basically you stamp your image once as a background and then once again and cut out following the stamped outline. One tip – move the paper not the scissors when cutting. Then using SU dimensionals (I cut these in half to stick to the narrow sections), create a layer to add depth to the card.
Supplies used:
- Barely Banana A5 cardstock
- Whisper White cardstock
- Jumbo Wheel ‘So Swirly’ (I think…need to learn the names!)
- Ruby red, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Creamy Caramel inks
- Paper Snips
- Versamark
- SU Dimensionals
- Animal Stories Stamp set
Overall I was pleased with the card, but definitely there are things to be learnt from still! I drew a faint line in pencil to line up the text and rubbed it out, yet the card stock is so delicate, there’s a faint line left. Not noticeable to many but it shows up in the pictures and I know it’s there too! So will have to find another way to get straight text!
