Paper Cut Outs
USING CARD STOCK TO CREATE DIMENSIONALITY
In his own studio work, Wilson aims to add new depth and layers of intrigue
to every piece he creates. This section will detail the paper cut out shapes that
are included for you to use in your own pieces. Shapes like stars, a heart, little
butterflies, and even an entire alphabet provide a vast array of options for you to
cut out of any paper or card stock. Add complimentary colors in from your color
story using solid shades of card stock in your cut outs, or add an extra splash of
pattern with a printed card stock.
Each paper cut out will come complete with an SVG cut file in a variety of
shapes and letters to choose from, for use with any compatible cutting machine.
These paper cut out shapes can then be affixed to any of the elements in previous
sections, from the tapestries to the printed backgrounds. Furthermore, you can
use these paper cut out shapes paired with another dimensional feature in this
series: the lace flowers. Simply stitch the flowers out and, once rinsed and dried,
affix them to the paper cut shapes using glue to create intricate looking designs
that can be mounted on to your backgrounds.
