Well, I had a dilemma! I purchased this Fanciful Flourish die from Cheery Lynn Designs and I could not get it to cut through the center of the die. I called Cheery Lynn Designs and they actually sent me another die and still the same problem. I LOVE this die and I was so disappointed. I have the Spellbinders Wizard and I suspect that is the problem. I added 'shims' and did everything I could think of to get it to cut to no avail! A friend of mine has the new Spellbinders Grand Calibur and I'm anxious to see if it will cut on that machine - I'm assuming it probably will. Well, they say, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!"....
WALLA!!! I decided to try and do SOMETHING with that silly die! I LOVE IT! Mistakes can become masterpieces!
Happy Birthday Shirley!
This is a birthday card I recently gave to a friend of mine and I told her that originally this was a mistake! She said, "I wouldn't call THIS a mistake!" She loved it!
In this card I made the flowers out of light-weight vellum paper and ran them through Cuddlebug's Swiss Dots embossing folder.
Note: The bling in the center of each flower. These were plain/clear and I colored them with alcohol ink. So much cheaper to purchase non-colored bling and color it yourself!
Another rectified 'mistake' done with purple background paper.
