Paper Cuts

Happy Sunday!  I don’t know about anyone else, but I am looking forward to my quiet house tomorrow once the kids are back in school and hubby is back to work.  I’ve really enjoyed the break, and I do have quite the to-do list, but it will be Q-U-I-E-T.  I’m not going to turn on a single thing that makes noise.  (I did the vacuuming today.)

Thoughts of You

I really like the images from Stampavie.  This is my first Rachelle Anne Miller image.  (I’m certain there will be more.)  I think they’re so cute.  I used Prismacolor pencils with some Diamond Stickle accents.  The patterned paper is glittery too. 

I didn’t like the blank corners at the top so I added some extra little dots and stars to match those within the stamped image, then I also added some little flower corners.  I still had Kim’s “Tag! You’re It!” set on my table so I used the tiny flower and one of the sentiments.

Since the focal point did not lie flat across the uneven layers beneath, I layered a scrap of patterned paper on top of a scrap of the brown cardstock and adhered that under the right side of the image.  I often do this to guarantee the focal point is level.  Often times, pop dots are too thick to balance the surface.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope your holiday was a happy one!
