Cut it out!

I haven't been able to join in the last couple of weeks.... been so busy! But had to have a go this week.

The theme this week at LIM is "Cut it out" I've done quite a few of these lately and love the effect.

I used a straightforward A5 card blank and cut an extra single piece the same size. The sentiment I printed straight on to the card blank, and with the extra piece cut an aperture with Nellie Snellen circle dies  and  a border at the bottom of the piece with a Martha Stewart  punch. I then punched 16 flowers to go around the circle and finished them off with pale turquoise pearls just to give a bit of colour!

After making it I decided it was a little too plain to give, so decided to add a couple of parchment butterflies........I'll leave it to you whether it improves it or not.........I'd like to hear your comments!

5 x 9 card length ways

 After making seven 8 x 8 easel cards last week I found myself with some odd sized card blanks........remnants from an A3 sheet. So decided to try something a bit different to use them up.
Two similar cards using the new frames from The clipart fairy called Yummy frames. The cats are also from her site called Springcats.



Last four of order of seven

 Made with mixes and matches from The Clipart Fairy. The first one is using bits and bobs from 4 sets.
If you read this Wendy.......We could do with a few more Teen images......both male and female!!

Had to use a Mo Manning image for the lad's card!
