I saw a card 'someplace' that fussy cut this ef, and when I read the F4A169 challenge to take a chomp out of our card, I knew this would fit perfectly. I glued the purple cs to the cream card base first, then embossed and fussy cut both layers. I drew colored pencil lines on the inside corner for a little definition and balance. I also sponged the fussy-cut edge with a bit of darker purple, but it doesn't show up well in the photo.
For the Mixability challenge to use glitter under glass, I stamped the flower with Versamark, used black embossing powder, then used yellow Stickles for the flower lines and center. I was afraid the yellow wouldn't show up on the black, but it really stands out. Green Stickles for the stem and Glossy Accents to cover the flower – put it "under glass."
I think I'll use both these techniques again! The only hard part was waiting for the Stickles to dry and then waiting again, overnight, for the Glossy Accents to dry.

Oh, Val, I love this! What a neat idea to fussy cut the ef for the chomp! The flower turned out great, it really pops!
