I created this Father's Day card using the layout for the
Card Patterns Sketch Challenge. Tweaked it a wee bit and simply gave up on the doily die (English Tea Party by Cheery Lynn Designs) working properly! I started punching out some of the holes and it was so tedious that I left the rest with an embossed look instead. :-( I have tried adding shims to this die and it simply will not cut through CS! Grrr!!! If anyone has the sandwich solution for successful cutting with a Big Shot, I'd be eternally grateful to hear what you use. Here's an inside view of the card...
STAMPS: Father's Day by Flourishes
PAPER: Antique Cream by Creative Imaginations, Black
INK: Versafine Onyx Black
ACCESSORIES: Corner chomper, Cream grosgrain ribbon by SU, Button (PTI), Sentiment flag die by 'Lil Inker Designs, English Tea Party doily die by Cheery Lynn Designs.
I think this is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWanda your card is stunning, Have you tried placing a tri fold piece of paper (not too thick, a low weight cardstock should do) on top of your shims?

Just love this image. Wonderful colour combo and great take on the sketch. Do you have a metal shim from PTI for this die? Works better than paper ones. You can check with Maureen too as she has this die. Think it does involve a lot of punching the pieces out though...
ReplyDeleteLove your silouhette card! I bought the metal shim from PTI to help with the intricate dies. Works good.
