Pretty Maids

The new Champagne and Glasses Rev die from the May QK release is so fun!! For this layout, I wanted to try cutting the shapes out from patterned papers. I think it gives the Champagne bottle a fun and whimsical look. I used silver vellum for the champagne glasses and I made pink champagne to go inside :). I used my Chalk ink to lightly add a bit of detail onto the top of the champagne bottle to give it a little more of a wrapped look. For this layout, I also used the QK Nesting Scalloped Ovals from this release and the QK Cookie Cutter Nutmeg Alphabet (on sale right now for only $59.99!!!) for the title. I love Nutmeg!! It is one of my favorite CC fonts. The little hearts above the pictures are from the Rev Love Birds Die. If you haven't checked out these new releases, don't wait too long!

Lovely layout Ruth Ellen. Well done.
How do you always manage to always cut a perfect large circles for your layouts??

Thanks ladies! Natasha, I use the Curvy Cutter by EK Success. It cuts on a glass platform and the blade adjusts to allow you to cut circles in pretty much any size you want :)
