This week it's my turn to host over at the Mod Squad Challenge. I have entitled the challenge "The Cutting Edge". Can you guess what the challenge is? Why yes, it's to cut the edge of your card. You must fussy cut one of the edges of your creation.
Our sponsor this week is Gina K Designs and Stamp TV
Stamp TV is a free online community featuring card making, stamping
techniques and project videos for paper crafters using stamps and other
products by Gina K. Designs. Be sure to check out StampTV for a ton of great videos and techniques. They also have weekly challenges. Shop Gina K Designs.

Here's my card:
It's a little challenging to photograph a card like this and capture the 3-D effect. I stamped the sunflower image from Melanie Muenchinger's A Year of Flowers, using a mask on the middle one so that the other two looked like they were behind. Also added some leaves. After I colored the image with my Copics I fussy cut the right edge. I love this look - it appears difficult but it's really quite simple, and gives the card a great wow factor. Plus, it's one layer, so it mails well.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White and Honey Mustard Card
Darice Basket Weave EF
GKD Year of Flowers Stamps
GKD Cottage Garden Stamp
Sizzix Ornate Labels Die
GKD Gold EP
Copic Markers
Stash Gold Thread
I would also like to enter this card in the CropStop Challenge. This month it's Anything Goes.

Fabulous card and a beautiful design. Thud! Love this totally! I had to comment all the way from France!
ReplyDeleteI love this technique... could a person use dies and do a partial cut instead of fussy cutting? The sunflowers are perfect for this design. Just gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteGLOR I OUS! (say it like that for accent!) This is such a sunner! I love those fabulous sunflowers, they are even ore perfect than Mother Nature's!
