Sometimes, the oddest things inspire a design--this one was based on a bedding set in a Land of Nod catalog photo (<--link). I fell in love with the bedspread and there was a throw pillow... A lovely girl's room, of course--just beautiful!
It's always so gratifying to translate an inspiration photo like that into a card... I love how it turned out!
In today's video I talk about working with full card-front (a.k.a. "cover plate") style dies. I show two die cutting methods that work well for me; be aware that large dies like this, with more intricate patterns, cut best with a shim/additional pressure and to be on the safe side, I usually pass it through the machine back & forth a few times--especially if I'm cutting through thicker materials, such as the 140# watercolor paper I used on this card.
