Its very hard for me not to use "patterned paper" - so I hope I get away with the patterned die background.
I have used a new Power Poppy stamp and they are just so nice to use - ink up nicely and stamp nicely.
The Our Daily Bread die was a bit tricky to use - but I eventually remember after several failed attempts and torn dies not to mention the temper tantrum - to use the easy release paper! and there you have it a nicely cut die.
Hope you enjoy this splash of red tulips

First it's a beautiful card....maybe it was trouble, but it was worth it. Last week my su gal showed us how she uses four sheets of dryer softener sheets to get these intricate dies to come out clean. First you run it through normally. Then take it again and run it through with the dryer sheets under the die and paper. The intricate pieces stick to the sheet and you peel the die away. You can reuse the sheets .

You are so right aren't you!! Heehee! You know what else works well on dies is to rub it with wax paper first! I never have any trouble with intricate dies when I use wax paper first!
Your card is beautiful! I Love how we both used the same image, fun!
