This was a fussy cutter's nightmare. In my head it didn't sound hard to 'just cut' this out. Oh well, it's done and I like how it turned out. I had to finish once I started so that's what motivated me to finish. LOL I colored the man and lawn mower with colored pencils. Then I cut them out. The man was holding a hoe but I didn't stamp that I gave him a weed wacker instead. I stamped the grass and sponged the background.

Wow Sue, you went all out with the fussy cutting! Great sentiment and I love the squiggly grass, lawn mower and weed wacker. Thanks for playing in my challenge and cutting it out.

I can see you cut like I do, as little white halo as possible and all the little nooks and crannies cut out. Which is why I mostly still order fussy-cutting to dies. What a fun card, my DH would get a kick from it. I don't mind cutting the grass but he insists it's his job and them always complains.

Your fussy cutting looks fabulous Sue and worth every minute. You should be thrilled to bits with the end result, your colouring is terrific as is the grass and sky. I love this to bits!
