I'm still experimenting a bit with some new supplies from Papertrey Ink.  What started as a way to practice with the new dye PTI inks, turned into this card.  {As you can see by my spotty stamping, I'm still getting used to the new  ink.  Spotty patches aside, I do love the fact that my ink and paper match perfectly!}  

This card also gave me a chance to try out my capital letter dies.  I have a Silhouette cutter, but lately I seem to prefer the ease and immediacy of dies.  To give the letters a bit more weight, I cut them twice, once in Aqua Mist and once in Hawaiian Shores.  I stacked them slightly offset to get that shadow font look.   

Here's a take away tip for adhering thin die cuts using foam dimensionals.  Instead of using pre-made foam circles/squares, use foam tape instead (I use Scotch brand).  It's easy to cut into thin strips and odd sizes.  Plus, it's cheaper and less puffy.  Your die cuts won't look like they're teetering on tower. {You smarties out there probably know this tip;)   

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
