My Heart - New Papercut

This new papercut is the piece I was working on for my husband (Steve) last week when I shared a sneak peek of it with everyone. It looks very different now that it is finished and I am really happy with how it has turned out. I was a little concerned that Steve may have found it a little 'girly' & 'cutesy' but he says not although now he has put in a request for another one to do with his other love - fishing!!! It was our 6th wedding anniversary two weeks ago so I thought it was about time I did a little papercut just for him so here it is - 

 "my HEART is overflowing with LOVE for you"

What is going on today ...

What is going on in my studio today???

(Well firstly I should clarify that by studio I actually mean my dining room table!)

I am working on a new papercut that isn't a commission - it is a piece from my heart (which will be for my husband) and I am listening to some great tunes. Currently playing - Gotye "Somebody that I used to know" (love that song). I am really excited about this one & can't wait to see it finished.

Here's just a sneaky look at it because I don't want him to see it yet.
