Make It Monday #212: Fussy Cutting Tips

 
 
The fussy cutting tips that were shared by Ashley were very helpful in making this card.  I just used her technique on the HAPPY and felt that it really works for me. If you want to see how she did it, just click on the tittle above. 
 
                                          Here is the card that I made for this challenge.
I am using the new camera that I recently received.  It was one that my daughter had, but since she upgraded, I was able to use her old one.  I am just doing the basics with it so far, but I feel that I am getting a much better picture. 

Here is what I used:
Steel grey card stock for the base and then a layer of design paper from Graphic 45 Artisan Style
The stamp is Penny Black, Poppies and it is stamped on Paper Trey Ink Card stock called Soft Stone. 
Flowers are colored in Copic markers, a touch of black stickles in the middle.  I used a border die from SU to frame the banner of Poppies.  Then I added the sentiment from PTI, Wet Paint stamp, which I fussy cut and applied black Wink of Stella.  Love that shine, but you really only need to buy clear.  It works the same.
This card is way more cheery that the weather that we are having.  It is so unseasonably cold and we have the promise of more rain. 
Thanks for stopping by and if you care to leave a comment , I really appreciate them.  Love them!
