JAI 69 Just Add Fussy Cutting

I love fussy cutting! Fussy cutting is grabbing your pair of snips or even your manicure scissors and letting loose on some paper (preferably around an image lol). Thanks to Paula who gave us this challenge this week..I certainly had fun with this LO.

This paper is a specialty paper called Nursery Suite (pg 124). Ive stamped and cut out lots of flowers from ‘Greenhouse Garden’  (pg 81) and leaves from ‘Happiness Shared’ (pg 80). (fussy cutting) and Ive used Clearly for you (Autumn/winter mini) for around the circle, on the title and here and there with the ladybug and little flower just to fill in any gaps.

Ive also used ‘Notably Ornate’ (pg 95) for the bird and journalling spot and the title is from ‘Word Play’ (pg 103)

There are two roses (one you cant see as its just a bud underneath the large rose) and Ive cut out two little leaves sizzlets. Punches Ive used are the owl punch (rose), scallop oval (rose bud and centre) Five petal flower for some leaves under the rose and the decorative label punch for the title.

The use of the white gel pen and a bit of bling were little touches to finish it off . I know Ive shown this photo of my daughter but I just had to document how much she is growing at the moment…she is growing up too fast! Its so not fair that she is now taller than me!

So I hope you play along with us this week. Do go and have a look and what the other girls on the Just Add Ink DT have done here.

Arent they awesome!!
