PTI MIM #212: Fussy Cutting Tips

Ashley showed us fussy cutting tips here for those sentiments and images that don't have coordinating dies. That is this week's challenge for Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday Challenge. Since I'm needing a couple of high school graduation cards, I decided to incorporate this technique. Hope to find time to do this again once I have my stamp room back in order (packing it up so we're ready for our new flooring installation next week). Without further ado, here's my card.

I curved the sentiment from Celebrations and fussy cut it from Soft Stone card stock and then cut again from Black Tie glitter paper. It was definitely easier to draw pencil lines before cutting.

Now you see the complete card, which is pretty self-explanatory. 

Here's what I did with the inside using Scarlet Jewel ink and VersaMark.
