The Cutting Edge Challenge #2


It's time to share the next Cutting Edge Challenge!  

And we are thrilled to announce that Ellen Hutson has agreed to sponsor the first challenge of each month, and will provide the winner of this challenge with a $25 Gift Certificate
 How nice is that?!  I can’t wait for you all to play along, so let’s get to it, shall we?!


Okay, here’s the gig!  We were to be inspired by this AH-MAZING project created by Karolyn Loncon in some way, and include die-cutting (any and all forms accepted) in our design!  There’s so much about this project to be inspired by, right?!  Here’s what I created:
                                        
I was inspired by soooo many things in Karolyn's card!!  I loved the colors, the watercolor, the paint splatters, the use of black paper and the to-the-side sentiment.  I watercolored with Distress Inks on some watercolor paper I had, and splattered with Simon black ink and dotted with a few enamel dots.  I die cut the "hello" several times with black paper, layering and then covered with glossy accents!  I stamped "a happy", to the side, from an Avery Elle stamp set.
FUN, FUN, FUN!!

We’d love to have you play along with us! If you click on through to The Cutting Edge Challenge Blog, you’ll find lots of information, including:
