Hello readers, Alicia posting today. I finally decided to dip my toes into the slimline popularity. I chose a couple of primary die sets to begin. I purchased Tutti Designs Slimline Stitched Rectangles and Karen Burniston Long Nature Edges. I felt they would definitely get me started with some great slimline edges. I have used both here along with some Karen Burniston Critters.
I love creating the Karen Burniston Critters, they are so much fun and most are a lot easier than they look. The squirrel below is only two pieces. I used a pen and the die to ink the ears and face. I inked the edges with a brown ink and added the tiny acorn. The fox is a few more pieces. Most of the details are highlighted with ink as well. I did cut an extra body to get the white pieces for the inside of the ears. You could just put white paper behind but I felt the inlaid die cut is a more finished look.
The beauty of the butterfly comes from the paper. I used the same collection for the background papers and the butterfly. It is a very old collection from We R.
The turkey has a few more details. I cut the red face piece from white paper and colored it red. I did go the extra mile to create the neck from a white cut of the feathers detail. I keep it in my stash and just cut another "loop" off every time I make another turkey.
I did not get a great pic of the raccoon. I think I have an overload of pics already so please forgive me. Here is one last look at my card.
