I keep coming across lots of designers who are a incredibly clever at cutting out paper and card to make their illustrations.They create delicate and intricate paper cuts that are cut by hand and scalpel and can sometimes be personalised to your requirements. The silouhette illustrations and 3-d designs make these unique pieces a stylish alternative to the usual print on paper.
