Restless Thoughts

This image is titled Restless Thoughts and is part of the ching-chou kuiks Fantasy Art Collection. I hadn't looked at the artist's colored version in some time, so find it interesting that we both used purple, or perhaps not since purple is my favorite color. I also managed to see her with a bit more skin showing, LOL! That is one of the things I love about stamps- everyone sees them just a bit differently!

Connie-Alice and Piglet Half Circle Card

This card was done using a little trickery to get the effect I wanted.

Supplies I used:

Cuttlebug machine

Spellbinder dies: Scalloped Circles & Standard Circles

Scor Pal

Copic markers

Leafing pen

flower punch by Nellie Snellen

Alice and Piglet plate #44 by Elaine Cox (you can find these delightful images HERE

sentiment also from plate 44

Directions:

1) Cut cardstock for A2 size card and score in half.

2) Score front of card in half again and fold over to folded edge

3) Using Cuttlebug, lay down A plate and C plate first, center the scallop circle die on C plate with

cutting edge facing UP (it helps to put a small pc. of tape on plate to hold die)

4) Lay your card on top of die with top or card front fold at midpoint of circle, fold up and back to attain this point.

5) Now fold top fold down over die, Slide B plate to mid point ONLY of die, using fold line for reference.

(This is key to getting only half the die to cut) Your "sandwich" will be offset with top or B plate only half on top.

6) Run this through Cuttlebug. Make SURE to lay your card in Cuttlebug with back or unfolded part away from you and folded or top toward you.

This will ensure your circle cuts on the very top part. *Don't ask me how I know that*

Below is a camera shot that will hopefully allow you to see how the circle "turns"

I like to think that I am better at stamping than I am at using a digital camera.......
