Wendy, I didn't see the technique but I'm so lousy at gluing on skinny pieces that I just did it. Cut the shape out of the paper you want. Then cut the cardstock creating the "negative". Back the card with a double sided tape. I use Sookwang since it is wide but feel free to get creative making that negative space sticky somehow. Lay in the original die cut piece. Remember you will have put back all those pieces out of the card stock cut out. If it is an intricate die, this becomes a real puzzle.
An easy way to salvage those little pieces.
Cut the original shape. Cut the negative but keep as many pieces in the die as possible. You will need all the spacer pieces. After putting the original shape into your sticky negative, carefully lay the die with the pieces still stuck in it over the top. You will then be able to poke a pin through the holes right into the spaces.
If this doesn't make sense to you since it is hard to explain on line, please feel free to PM.
This has become one of my favorite techniques and hope you enjoy it as well!
