I use Scrapbook Adhesive for my intricate die cutting but there are lots of similar products out there. That's just what I happened to find locally. Sending you (hugs) back.

I never thought about coloring separate layers and then finishing with a clean, crisp layer on top! Your shading is beautiful, but so is the dimension! Fantastic! Also, I like what you said about the adhesive layer. Is there a particular brand you use? Thanks for the tip about spacing the piercings in "ordinary" die cuts, too. WONDERFUL card, and even more wonderful post. Thank you so much! hugs, deDonna Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493910748228055970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768485897029347810.post-14505861788300601042016-04-26T16:54:06.948-04:002016-04-26T16:54:06.948-04:00A beautiful card Brigit....great die altogether an...A beautiful card Brigit....great die altogether and what you did with it makes it even better.<br />I've spent the evening trying to come to terms with Altenew's Vintage Roses. I have watched the tutorial several times but boy there's a lot of learning to do.<br />Colouring in properly is so necessary for me....I'd like to be a perfectionist in this department but unless I'm prepared to practice it will not happen.<br />I'm sorry your Mother has passed on and if you are like me there is not a day goes by but I think of her and how she brought us up, all the hard work she did with no domestic appliances....all the garments she knitted and sewed, the home she kept for us and food on the table. I can still see her with the baking bowl in her lap beating cake mixture with a wooden spoon...oh I must stop rambling on....but I imagine you are the same.<br />Blessings and love from a very cold and rainy Northern Ireland.<br />JoyceJoyce across the Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265043471522130388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768485897029347810.post-66706794753673431732016-04-26T15:08:46.439-04:002016-04-26T15:08:46.439-04:00Oh wow!! what a truly beautiful card!!

I would have never thought to put adhesive on before running it through the die cutting machine : ) brilliant! I also really love that you pierced the scallop on your die! I was just about to place an order for a die that did the piercing for you! This is even better : )<br /><br />Birgit I could go on!! but your card is beautiful in every way! <br /><br />Sorry about the loss of your Mom : ( my Dad's health has been failing and is in the hospital right now. It is so hard to even think of loosing him! <br /><br />I have been continuing to hold you in prayer friend!<br /><br />PattiPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13446338172376336605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768485897029347810.post-63111251246225039392016-04-26T14:37:45.850-04:002016-04-26T14:37:45.850-04:00Absolutely beautiful Birgit...I'm sure it will...Absolutely beautiful Birgit...I'm sure it will be treasured by whoever receives it!
