Anyhow, this week's Less is More challenge is to include an aperture on your card. I decided to play with more tech, to see if I could break a 3rd thing, and pulled out my cricut and my favourite cartridge - damask decor. One of the functions on this cartridge is to cut whole cards and this is what I opted for, both because it was quick and I am short of time at the minute, and also because I think the shapes are so elegant.
I cut it to 5 inches on cream pearl card and then simply drew a very thin teal line around the cut area with my new muji pens. I stamped a simple sentiment on a strip of the same card, edged it in the same way and then added a few teal pearl drops. It kind of looks a bit like a face now I look at it!
Right, time for bed Zebedee - I'll get around to see everyone's entries tomorrow.
I can see the face too Tara, I wonder if that's because you added the sentiment in that particular position!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I don't own a cutting machine, so it's punches, dies or a good old craft knife for me!
Great card.
Thanks so much

I only have to look at a sew machine for it to break Tara - but two...?! Looking forward to seeing the cushion. I love your intricate looking cut and I wouldn't have seen a face if you hadn't said! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI have the Cameo, and I love its capabilities! Looks like you gave the cricut a workout too! Are you planning to take up sewing now? Quilting? I used to quilt years ago, but I did everything by hand. Now it's much more difficult to sew by hand (guess cause I'm old! LOL!)
