In this Video Tidbit, you'll learn how to cut an edge on an element using the Custom Cutter. And then, by using the Touchup Tool and the Paint technique, you'll create a burned edge. This technique would work well on a paper border or a scavenger hunt invitation!

- - Create a journaling card or select one from your content. Add it to your page.
  - With the card selected, go to the Cut Ribbon > Custom > Cut out a curved path.
  - Cut down the left side of the chosen element cutting small pieces to form a jagged edge.
  - Choose to save the unshaded area.
  - With the element selected, go to the Touchup Ribbon and choose Paint.
  - Choose a medium brown color.
  - Select the softest brush.
  - Move the Diameter slider to the right to increase the size of the brush.
  - Move the Opacity slider to the left to decrease the amount of coverage.
  - Paint along the side of the cut edge.
  - Choose a slightly reddish color for your second color.
  - Move the Diameter slider to the right to increase the size of the brush.
  - Move the Opacity slider to the left to decrease the amount of coverage.
  - Paint along the left edge as before.
  - Choose a darker brown color for the 3rd color.
  - Move the Diameter slider to the left to decrease the size of the brush.
  - Move the Opacity slider to the right to increase the amount of coverage.
  - Paint the very edge of the cut piece, covering the small "coves" with more color as needed.
  - Add a heavy shadow to the cut and burned element.
