No Squares or Rectangles Please

What a fun challenge the Phindy's Place Challenge Blog has going this week. Just create a shaped card that isn't a square or a rectangle. I've had NO difficulty with this challenge.

For this card, I used my Make the Cut Software and my Black Cat Cougar along with a Lettering Delights cutting file called Card B. This cutting file has several different shaped cards. There are several reasons why I love the Make the Cut software.  One is that I don't have to cut using a pair of scissors. The second reason is that you're able to create shadows of a file either exterior or interior, and from that you can cut a smaller inset. I used this smaller inset to also cut out my image and shadow it.

The image I used is from the Phindy's Place Store, of course. She's another of the cuties, and she's called Special Day. This is one of my favorite images. I know, I say that about all of them, but it's true none the less. I've colored her with my Copics.

The papers are again digital and from a kit by Just So Scrappy Too called Have Tea With Me. I love digital papers because I always have coordinating papers and like digital images, I can make them smaller either because I need a smaller image or I don't want to waste paper.

Well I've maxed out the number of entries I can post this week, and I have to say it was a fun challenge for me. I had to get as many as I could done, since we leave for Colorado for two weeks on Saturday, and I'm going to be in crafting withdrawal. I needed to overdose while I can. Thanks for stopping by.
