I tried die cutting using the edger die and without the edger die and both cut beautifully and a die brush made short work of getting any leftover bits out of the die. As I knew the die was intricate I did use one shim in my cutting sandwich and that was enough to get a perfect die cut. So now, thanks to Lesley, I know the 'Detailed Floral Thinlits' dies are a pleasure to use without any hassle - oh dear!
For Lesley's card I used the two pieces that you get when you cut using the edger die as well as both detailed floral dies. I simply glued the die cut panels to the front of an A6 white card base and stamped a sentiment from the 'Floral Phrases' stamp set in the gap.
Here's the inside and the envelope decorated with more stamps from the 'Floral Phrases' set. I stamped the border on a separate piece of white CS, trimmed it to size and glued the strip under the sentiment.
The floral image in the stamp set is so gorgeous - how amazing that you get colour shading using only one ink colour! Here's a close up.
