Hi friends! I made a card for a new and fun challenge "The Cutting Edge" started by fantastic, talented and superb Jackie Rockwell of Rockwell Designs. Jackie is back in action with not just one but two amazing challenges. The other is Tag You're it! for all the tag lovers out there :)
But my card is for The Cutting Edge and as the name suggests is for all those who are crazy about die cuts. If by chance you are not... you will definitely become one with this challenge and its amazing DT. So this first challenge is a contest for a Guest Design opportunity :)
So here's my card...
I was inspired by the card in the bottom right corner. To make this card, I die cut all the elements and inked them, drew a faint line as a guide to place my die cuts. Before placing my elements, I masked the lower edge of the card and created a sky by inking. Then I placed the elements with sun being the first, followed by trees and then birthday diecuts. I hand drew those tiny birdies. The unique thing about this is that I used the twig for marshmallows as the tree trunks :)
I am also linking this up at Paper Crafting challenge #12 - In summer and CASology Week 100 - Celebrate as its their birthday and I wanted to be a part of this celebration :)
Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
Supplies used - Dies: MFT Roughing it, MFT Little Lower case alphabets, CAS-ual Fri Dies Tree(to make those tiny flowers) and sizzix circle die; Inks - Distress Spiced Marmalade, Mustard seed, Mowed Lawn and Tumbled glass, Memento Bamboo leaves; Spectrum Noir markers; Martha Stewart Glue pen
