so i'm kind of in love with papercutting. i've been doing regular scherenschnitte (usually black cutouts on white paper) for several years, and then this year, for my wedding, i did some less traditional profiles of husband and me which turned out pretty well. i'm currently working on a project for my mama. here's what i did: first, i found a picture online that i liked that worked with mama's theme.
then i did a simple sketch of the image in the size i wanted it. i used an exacto knife and self-healing mat and scissors to cut out each item in the picture using the appropriate color paper. then i glued it all together and mounted it on white cardstock with gingham borders. you can't tell, but all of it is mounted on foam core covered in brown wrapping paper.
