Cutting Up A Cut File!
Hey chaps, Laura here today. I usually cut a few bits on my Silhouette Cameo when I have it out. This means some cuts don’t get used right away, and sometimes the edges end up damaged. Rather than through this large background piece away I decided to cut it apart, discard the damaged bits and keep the good bits!
I backed a few of the petal sections with the gorgeous blue roses paper from Maggie Holmes’ Chasing Dreams. I adore this pattern and colour and I’m using it really sparingly!
Incidentally, it is a perfect match for Pandora’s Ombre sequin mix.
I filled a glassine bag with some Pandora’s Ombre and got a little sad that I had used nearly all of my supply. I emptied about half out and threw in some tiny cheap white sequins that have been in my stash for nearly a decade! I don’t use them as they are not perfect but behind glassine you can’t tell.
I then used the left over Pandora’s Ombre sequins to embellish the page.
Before adhering my cut file down I used watercolour and the packaging technique to add some blue to my background. I also added foam adhesive to the back of the cut files for added dimension and cast shadows.
Thanks for looking!
Laura
