Giggle, Laugh, Smile Hanging Project "Indy Art"

To start the project, I cut chip board and card stock into 6" squares.




After cutting out all of the chip board and base color card stock, I inked around the edges to add texture.
Placing 3 card stock onto my cutting mat, I cut out the base pieces of each image and word.     Bird is cut out at 2.25 inches. Rose is 3.5 inches, Lips is 2.06 inches, Butterfly is 2 inches, Heart is 2.5 inches and the close is 2.5 inches, Giggle, Smile and Laugh are all cut out at 1.75 inches .                              





I design on my Cricut mat as much as possible. I have a horrible habit of "losing" my cut outs. When I design on my sticky Cricut mat, I do not lose pieces!  As you see on the picture, I have cut the images out and have inked around the edges. I love using my "Color Box inkes".

I am also a huge fan of Pop Dots! The bird, butterfly and the lips have all been pop dotted to make the project 3D.

Stickles always seem to end up on my pages! I love Bling! Each of the words have been Glossy Accented. If you have not tried Glossy Accents, it is a Must! After the liquid dries, it looks like glass.
