We're excited to celebrate
National Scrapbooking Day with our Quick Quotes friends and fans! What
better way than to have a fun blog hop!!! During our hop you will see
inspiration from all of the Design Team for our current blog challenge.
Please visit the blog for full details how to play along with our
challenge.
This month's challenge is fussy cutting! Yep, cutting out some of those little details found in the graphics of the papers. This allows you to create some dimension and texture by inking the edges....with none other than the fabulous Quick Quotes PowderPuff Chalking Inks, using pop dots to raise the cutting on the layout and layering the cut outs over other items including the photo.
This is the layout I created for this challenge:
I used the Summer Samba line here.....which has the best flowers to fussy cut!! Flowers are usually the go to item for me to fussy cut because you can do so much with them! In this case I cut a bunch of flowers out, cutting the petals loose too, then I inked the edges with Mango Mai Tai and on the bigger flowers I curled the petals around a pencil, the smaller I crumpled and straightened back out. When adhering the flowers to the layout itself I created clusters by layering and raising some up with pop dots.
The Quick Quotes PowerPuff Chalking Inks are a to die for product, I use them....alot!! The flourishes are actually taken from a larger Die Cut, The Whimsical Tree, I just trimmed off what I needed, used the Limeade and Green With Envy inks. The finish on the inks is amazing, so soft and powdery!
If you have followed the sequence in order, you are done and its time to head back to the Quick Quotes blog!
Here is the hop sequence just in case you get lost along the way!
Now what's a Blog Hop without a fun prize?!!! Since we are celebrating National Scrapbooking Day (annnd 6,000 fans over on Facebook!) we are all set to give away a grab bag full of crafty Quick Quotes goodness! For sure it will contain some PowderPuff Chalk Inks as they are our featured product for May!

Love the cut out details on your page.
Julie this is wonderful! I just realized that not only did you use fussy cutting on here, but you created your own flourishes with the Tree! -- Clever girl! Love it!!!
Fabulous layout Julie! Summer Samba is one of my favorites! Your fussy cut flowers are fabulous.
Great layout. Flourishes are a nice touch!
I too love to curl and crumple my flowers to give them extra texture. The flourishes were "da bomb"!
This turned out beautifully!
The flowers appear more 3-D when they are texturized as you have on this LO! Great Job!
Love your 3S flowers, and such a beautiful layout!
Love how the flowers enhance the photo and draw your attention in.
