Tips from the show

• If your fussy cutting leaves white edges on the embellishments, use a blending brush to blend them out so they're not visible.
• Don't be too precious about fussy cutting—slight imperfections blend away easily with a blending brush.
• Pinch and mould your flat fussy-cut pieces slightly to give them a little dimension before gluing them down.
