Inspirational Card
I received this card from a friend who bought it on a trip to England. She was sure that I would love it and she was absolutely right!
The intricate design is printed in gold ink on the pale pink card and cut inside the shape of the rabbit (probably by a laser). The card is from Roger la Borde First Press and there is a website listed rogerlaborde.com. I looked at the site but couldn't find much information about this type of card.
Here you can see how incredibly delicate the cuts are. The outline of the rabbit is printed with black ink to add definition.
The eye is also printed with black. The width of the black line along the edges varies when it overlaps the cut areas. You could make it more consistent if you were adding it by hand.
This card has all sorts of ideas spinning in my mind. I can't wait to try a Cricut version of a card using this concept.
My mind is also spinning from spending hours and hours today on the phone with various computer support people. My not-so-very-old computer (new last September) has been giving me trouble and I can't access some of my programs. It looks like I will need to do a complete recovery due to software issues, possibly caused by allowing a Windows update. This will take many additional hours of reinstalling programs, transferring data and generally sorting things out. I hope to have it done later this week and I will try to get some projects uploaded before I start the process. Wish me luck - I have such a love/hate affair with technology at times - so fantastic when it is all working and so frustrating and time consuming when it develops problems!

A new discovery!
Here is a LINK - the site is in Japanese, but you can get the idea from the photos.
Oh, the creative possibilities..... I see some interesting Cricut/Lego projects in my near future!
(I am using my Dad's computer. I think this may be the first post I've made with no photos. I'll add one when I get home - we have lots of Legos!)
