Paper cuts...

So after thoroughly enjoying working through the DIY paper cutting kit from Paper Panda I decided to give myself a challenging project.

With the knowledge that our 1 yr wedding anniversary is approaching (October) I thought I would do a paper cut as a pressie for hubby - according to tradition the present for 1 year should be paper. Perfect!!!

On my journeys across the world wide web searching for inspiration I came across a design that literally couldn’t have been more perfect – it was a cut that incorporated part of ‘A Lovely Love Story’ by Edward Monkton - we had this beautiful reading at our wedding

I changed the initials and date and started to cut....


And cut...

And cut...

And cut!!


I must admit - I'm bloody proud of myself!!! It looks fantastic - and looks like lace!! I will be cutting it again as I feel my lines are smoother now and I could get a cleaner finish but I'm super chuffed with how it looks!!

Once the final copy is finished and framed I will post a picture of the whole thing.
