Lace Cut Book

 

I am big fan of Tracy Scott and her work, her mandalas and lace cut pages are my favorite.So when an opportunity to learn from master came up I grabbed it. 

I was always scared of fuzzy cutting,cutting with X-Acto was a nightmare,Tracy showed simple and easy techniques  that made it so easy. Soon I was so hooked to it that I decided to make three layered lace cut book. Having a fresh sharp X-Acto really helps in having fine cuts.

I started with bottom most page in shades of green with heat embossed image in the middle . A lot of stamping and stenciling went on this page. The next page was lace cut using Itsybitsy stencil and painted in gorgeous shades of yellow. Doodling was done with various Sakura pens 

The second lace cut page was also done using Itsybitsy stencil, it was colored and doodled like the other page. The cover was done using stencil partially and later I drew around the image to make it symmetrical and cut it out.

It was painted in black and 3D paint was used along with red and green rhinestones to highlight the pattern.  The gold paint from Golden was used to define the flower, the paint was piped using Fineliner bottle (2 parts of Deep gold paint with 1 part gloss medium).

Hope you liked the project, I enjoyed creating it so much. More images on the lacecut pages
