Here's my card for today's Ways to Use It challenge - Resolution check - I resolved to use what I have purchased - and for this card I used a Poppy Patch Spellbinders die that I bought a while ago and have not used!
I die cut the poppy patch out of white card stock - sponging the poppies in Ranger Distress Festive Berries and the ground area with Iced Spruce before removing it from the die.
It was a little tricky getting this out of the die with the skinny stems - I ripped the paper the first try - then I die cut a piece of wax paper to see if it would release the paper more easily. It came out better after this but I still had issues right in the center where all the stems cross - hopefully as I use this more it will cut more cleanly...???
I embossed a Nestability Square on the card and adhered the poppy patch inside the frame with foam tape. The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse
