And here's the picture that inspired her...
Aren't they great? I haven't got a Silhouette machine, or the skills to handcut but these two inspired me to try some cutting some letters using the narrow plates that I bought recently for my Big Shot. I laid them over only half of the letter die and sure enough it half-cut some letters, then I used a craft knife to slice the excess paper off. I have quite a way to go to perfect this technique, but I thought I'd show you my first attempt in the spirit of honesty (and a little bit to prove that you can do it without a Silhouette cutter!).
I wish I had not drawn the lines around the letters, they are not stuck on, promise! The next version will be "ombre" style in my fave colour - pink!
PS I found out a tip today about the glitter paper I used to frame the card - if you're using your paper trimmer, cut it from the back as it's easier on the trimmer blade...
This looks just great. You've used the inspiration beautifully.. A terrific card!
