This week's MIM video was by Ashley Cannon Newell and it was about splitting your die cuts to give then a totally new and different look. For my card I decided that the die cut I wanted to split was the Parisian Lace Doily die. This die is fairly large so I actually removed about a 1/2" from the centre of the die so that my sentiment would fit comfortably in between.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: Simply Chartreuse, Pure Poppy, White
Patterned paper: Sugar Plum
Stamps: Stylish Sentiments Holidays, Winter Penguin
