The challenge at
Stampotique is Wings Wings Wings. I decided to use my new
Bird die from
PaperArtsy. but rather than cut a shape to stamp onto I decided to use it to make an aperture.
Now the only problem with that is that I only have the x-cut (double do ) die cutter. Now the dies work pefectly in the machine, so no problem there. The problem is that the opening in the machine is only 3 inches wide. so I could only make a card 3 inches high. but of course I could make it as long as I liked, so this was the result.
I have stamped one of the matching bird stamps from
HP1007 onto purple card to go inside. The swirl inside the card is from the same plate, and the background on the front of the card is from
HP1006. The words are from
Petals Plate 1.
