So, these aren't great pictures, but I wanted to show you my second papercutting attempt. After I posted my last attempt, Maggie from Chica es Artistica sent me over to an AWESOME papercutting blog, Scherenschnitte. Seriously, you should check it out if you are at all interested in paper cutting. She has TONS of free papercutting templates that are cute and whimsical, including this sweet Alice in Wonderland one.
I used paper from an old book I got at the thrift shop. I made a few mistakes, and I don't like it mounted on the white paper, so I may try a redo. We'll see!
I think you did a great job! Thanks so much for the shout out. When I attempted this template, I think I decapitated the flamingo and took out its leg, the flowers, and just about anything and everything that stuck out. I really like the newsprint, but I do agree, it does look a little odd on the white paper. Construction paper perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely cut out! Gorgeous in fact. I agree that it could use some color behind it. Even a monochromatic print wouldn't detract from the picture but would add dimension to the background.
