More pages from Sketchbook 47

All the pages have something which has been cut on the Zing.

I cut the bottom right corner off the page and replaced it with a cutout which was a square folded over.

I developed the drawing above to make a repeating fabric, this is a swatch.

Springy Thingy Card

I followed instructions on a Make the Cut webinar recording [Apr 12, now on youtube] for this fold up card. There are perforated lines [cut with the Zing] for the folding lines. It took me ages to work out how to fold it but I got there in the end. Unfortunately with so much folding the thin card tore on one of the perforated lines after I'd painted it so I didn't spend much time decorating it or attach it to background card.

There is a youtube video by Annette Husband on how to make the card without a cutter, this was the original card, using a bone folder for scoring and steam punk decorated. I think if I'd watched this first I may have got the hang of folding quicker.

Zing Cut Out's

The orange flower is a cut out, I used my Zing for cutting. I used the flower as a stencil first so it was painted too.

A heart cut out I used as a stencil. The bird is stamped, a fun foam stamp also cut with the Zing.

These were also cut with my Zing, I created them on a tablet with the Corel App. I'm not sure what to call them - doyley, [or doily], mandala, lacy circles?

Both the hare and the lacy circle were cut with the Zing. I used the same design as the stamped hare from yesterday.

Sketchbook 47 [pages 69 -81]

I cut out fun foam on my Zing machine to make stamps, the birds are stamps as well as the hare and rabbit below. I've added additional details with a pen.
