Lake by the Mountains paper sculpture

9/12/23 Top 3 at Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge!

Hey everybody! Happy Friday – it’s almost the weekend! The weekends sure are rolling around mighty quickly these days, lol! I’m delighted to be guest designing once again for Cut It Up Challenges! The theme for Challenge #284 is Create A Scene, and I created a paper sculpture for Ed’s birthday that fit perfectly into this challenge! You know how much I love my Scan N Cut, and I used the amazing Father’s Day Paper Sculpture cut file from Dreaming Tree to create this beautiful scene.

I cut all the pieces from Clear Path Paper white cardstock; American Crafts Dandelion, Kale, Crimson, Grass, Key Lime, Plum, Marine, Sunflower and Leaf cardstock; and DCWV Textured Double Sided cardstock. I always say the assembly of these kinds of projects is the most fun! I assembled it with liquid glue and foam strips (some cut into smaller pieces), giving it tons of dimension. The dimensional layers on this really bring it to life. So happy with how it turned out, and the hubs loved it too! And I do apologize for the slight glare on front of the shadowbox… the acrylic was hard to photograph!
