X's and O's

Welcome to a brand new challenge starting today at The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Challenges!

Challenge #5 is all about Hearts & Love!

Here is a new card to show you, and some cards posted previously this month using some of the pre-colored images by one of our sponsors, PINK CAT STUDIO.

The Queen has lots of digi sponsors with all kinds of pre-colored and non-colored images they have provided for us to use. Be sure and hop over to The Queen's Royal Challenges to see what else our Design Team has come up with!

Project #32 of this year

A2 size card ( 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" )

Card base from K&Co. Simply Sweet paper stack.

Ribbon from Joann's.

Pre-Colored digi image from PINK CAT STUDIO.

ELEGANT EDGES used for image matting.

"Scallop 2" cut @ 4" with Oblong feature & Shadow on p. 24.

Sunshine from CREATE A CRITTER p. 52 cut @ 1 3/4".

Here's a little side not about the Sunshine cut in the Create A Critter cartridge.

You can clearly see on the manual sunshine image that it's suppose to have pink, round cheeks. When cutting this image it cuts out holes where the pink is suppose to shine through, just like it cuts out holes for the yes and mouth to show through as black from the previous layer. However, no where on this page does it provide the pink cheeks to cut. Hmmm.... Maybe I'm missing it. I ended up looking for another cut in this book with pink cheeks and cutting out their pink circles. I found if I cut the cheeks the same size as the sun (1 1/4"), then the pink cheek circles just feel through the holes on the sunshine's face. So I ended up cutting them at 2".
