Hello Ai Fans !!
When I saw we were going to do this challenge , I knew just the stamp I wanted to use , one that would need lots of piecing , these couch girlfriends are awesome and perfect for the challenge !!Next you need a very sharp pair of scissors ( I used Cutter Bees ..love them )and the next tip is to kind very small pattern paper so it looks right on the images , the 6″ by 6″ paper packs are perfect for this and paper coordinated nicely .
I started by stamping my image with Memento ink and i chose my small print pattern paper (My Minds eye ..Lost and Found collection in Bush )
next I punch paper to make paper lace to go behind my cut because I don’t have a die in a bigger oval to mat it , add score tape and run paper thru a crimper and then hand gather on the score tape , I then add more score tape to the top of the lace and add another oval over the back to give a finished look and secure the lace ( no one can see but I know it’s there and done right )
This is an awesome card – there is a lot of detail going on. I love the idea of sticking parts of image outside die cut. The hand made lace adds that popping touch. The flowers set it off. I like the fold of the card, what size card is it? 🙂
Hi Crystal,
Oh my gosh, your card is incredibly ADORABLE!!! I’ve never done this technique of stamping an image on designer paper then fussy-cutting it out but it looks like a fun technique! (Time consuming but fun!) Oh, how I love that stamp!
Peace, Love & Joy,
Joyce
LOVE this card Crystal! Thanks for showing how you die cut the image. Very helpful! I love the papers you used for paper piecing, so pretty! This card is so pretty and feminine! 🙂 Lovely card.
