Hello All,
Just a little post today to show you my latest card using the new Spellbinders Tapestry die and the Fabscraps Rusty Bear 2 paper
I
know its very different to my usual style but I just didn't have the
heart to cover this die cut up so no stamped image for me this week! Shocker!
Here is a close up of the the arrangement, I have again used the beautiful leaves from Prima Joulee Marble and the Mini Meadow collection.
The large flower is another handmade one with a center that I got from Scotties ages ago but I just love them!
Can you see the Diamond Dust
on the top flower??? I love this stuff, its just perfect when you want a
little bit of sparkle without having the Kithcyness (is that a word?)
that glitter can sometimes bring in - but I do love myself some glitter
too.
And lastly here is a close up of the die cut and the amazing detail that it brings out when you use a tan mat, can you see that embossing? just gorgeous.
Just
to share in my experience I find the best way to get a detailed die to
cut perfectly is to use the die as close to your rollers as possible.
for
example for my Cuttlebug I "sandwiched" my cut as so from bottom to
top, my A plate, two pieces of Shim, then my C plate, the Die next
facing up, then Wax paper and Cardstock topped only with my B plate.
The
cut was perfect as soon as I got this combo right as my very "loved"
Cuttlebug didn't seem to want to play with the die in the middle of my
"sandwich" O and waxed paper just helps release all of those little bits
from the die so you don't have to spend hours prodding with a toothpick
after each cut.
Well I hoped this helps and inspires you all to have a Crafty weekend!
Till next time,
Kristy
