Welcome to another of the 'sofa' series. As I write this I am coming up to the end of the third week in plaster and waiting to see what the Consultant says about my progress in a couple of days time. So you maybe ahead of this information when you read this post as that was still in May.
For this panel I took a completely different turn - I had bought down some paper pads and decided to look for some images to cut up and use rather than chop the paper for panels and covers. It resulted in quite a bit of fussy cutting .....
........ - that's a funny phrase isn't it? I looked it up and it does mean just what I did; cutting images and designs from patterned paper and stamped images.
I also used one of my doxide backgrounds adding a couple of strips and fussy cut flowers, leaves and butterfly. I rather like the retro feel to it.
Just a quick post for today, thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous vintage style Brenda. Sitting on the sofa crafting is a good time to do some Fussy Cutting. Like you I'm not a big lover of it but it is something you can do while watching the TV or when your leg is poorly!

Even confined to the sofa, you're producing beautiful creations! I love the subtle inky background and the gentle warmth of the colour tones.
