Paper cutting ...

A quick post to share a card that I made yesterday afternoon.  The inspiration for this card came from a beautiful card that my son sent me for my birthday yesterday - I'll include a photograph of the card for you to see.

 This is my take on the card


I started by stamping the flowers and leaves which I then water coloured using distress inks. Then the fun began - using a craft knife I carefully remove the white spaces between the blooms and leaves, leaving them attached to the main part of the card by creating a square around the image.  I added a pierced border and pierced detail in two corners.  Stamped the sentiment and that was that.

 This is the card from my son:

The whole of the image on the front has been cut out - far more detail than I could manage but hopefully it shows where I was coming from!!

 I used:

 STAMPlorations - Floral Bliss
UNIKO - Natural Treasures I
Distress Inks - Picked Raspberry and Twisted Citron.

 I'm going to enter the following challenges:

 STAMPlorations July CAS




 Penny Black and More July Challenge - Anything Goes with a stamp.

 Enjoy!
