Hi, everyone!
Happy Sunday to you all! I hope your weekend has been a bright, sunny warm weekend like mine! It's been gorgeous here, so I threw open my windows, cranked my tunes and finished putting together this layout.

My intention for the pictures is to make them circles, so the pretty doily cuts can still be seen on the mats. I used the Cricut cartridge, Cindy Loo, for my paper piecings and die-cuts. This page took a long time to cut everything because I slowed my cutting speed down to 2. I wanted to make sure all those intricate cuts worked out the first time! lol!
I added some heart-shaped rhinestones to my borders. My owl and letters are on pop-dots.
I used my white gel pen in the eyes, to add the "glimmer" in the eye. I embossed the top owl layer with a Cuttlebug folder, Textile. I lined it up so the swirls of the embossing folder would match up with where I was placing the purple accents.
I used an EK Success border punch for the bracket edge, and the circle shapes are the negative cuts from the top tree layer, I have a Sizzlit Strip that I used for my letters. The circles are popped up on pop-dots.
This was a fun page to put together, and I am anxious to put the pictures on. (They are being mailed to me from my sister). Once I do, I may re-post this to show you how it looks completely finished. :)
Thanks so much for flying by today! I hope you enjoy what you see here!

How fun! Love the lacey backgrounds for the circle photos. Will make them really pop. We are finally starting to warm up a bit. It's in the 60's today and all the snow has finally melted. :0)
ReplyDeleteOoooo, Cheryl, loving all those intricate cuts! I know how much work it can be to get them cut and then to adhere them so they stay down. Marvelous job on this card!
