Paper Cuts

Happy Fourth of July to all of my American friends!! 

I’ve been saving this card to post today.  It’s one of my first attempts at coloring a Thomas Kinkade image (available from Cornish Heritage Farms).  It’s not perfect, but I’m trying! 

Land of the Free

I used Prismacolor pencils to color this image.  After trying Copic markers, I have to say the Copics are my favorite so far.  (I’ve yet to try pastels.)

To make the “photo” corners, I cut a square, then cut from corner to corner (forming two triangles).   I then used my paper cutter to cut out the notch from each triangle.  Lastly, I sponged the edges.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you all have a very fun and very safe holiday!
