Cutting apart die cuts is the theme of this week's Make It Monday ... another great way to get more mileage out of the stuff we already have. This card came together in minutes.
The larger side of the Mehndi Medallion impression plate ends up being the perfect size to make a symmetrical impression on the snowflake. Washi tape helps make sure the snowflake stays in the center while running through the die cutter.
(the text on the back of the snowflake gives me up. an old friend gave me all her wedding invitations that were printed incorrectly ... it's such thick and textured paper that I use it all the time!)
This was such a quick and easy card that I've got a few other ideas which I may post tomorrow.
Thanks for looking!

Oh, what a fabulous idea. I love how you impressed the snowflake, and love how you put your sentiment right in the middle. Looking forward to seeing your other ideas, too.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteStunning - love the white on dark! Impressing the snowflake adds terrific texture - not surprised to see it highlighted on FB. Had to laugh at your paper source - I did notice the text and have been know to use scraps with something on the back, so didn't think anything of it, but what a great source of quality paper!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Cleaver too.
