AAA Cards Challenge...fussy cutting
I made the above card for the AAA Card Challenge...this week it's fussy cutting. I really like to do paper cutting. When I first started making cards it was the technique I used the most. I still like to make 3d cards...aka decoupage cards. I don't do as many these days because all the layers need so much more for postage. My first thought to do this challenge was to make a 3d card....then I realized it would NOT be a CAS card, and my card was also supposed to be CAS.
The AAA card challenge can be found here
My flower image was made using a peel off sticker which I colored with copics (My hubby isn't the only one who uses the copics! Smile. He definitely uses them more than I do, and he is also way better at using them them me. I just fussy cut around the image, and added a die cut to the bottom of the card (unknown) the die was borrowed from a friend. My thanks sentiment was made using a Stampin' Up embosslit! I made this thank you card for one of our neighbor's who gave us this lovely bouquet of flowers!
"Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude.
Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness.
Thankfulness may consist merely of words.
Gratitude is shown in acts."
