Fabulous challenge this week and finally I had time to play. As it happens this little baby won't make an appearance until Dec and I really wanted to make something 'Christmas y'. I used a glitter ritz technique on the image. The Christmas ball is a die cut from Marianne Designs. First cover a piece of card stock with score tape. Make a sandwich for your machine that will cut the score tape paper only and not the card. Carefully peel away the ball outline (black part) and add glitter. Then peel the pink and silver sections and add glitter. Finally the background and you guessed it...more glitter!! This is a latch card from Dostamping..thank you Dawn. The pink lines on the latch is patterned packing tape (Mikes bargain bin) and the greeting is a sticker from Starform. Embossing folder from cuttlebug I think.
Note: The sandwich I used in my cuttlebug is
Plate A - Plate B - Cardstock with tape side face up - a piece of copy paper - die face down - Plate C. Experiment not all machines are the same.

I spotted this and meant to come back to leave a comment - but yesterday might have been the best day we had all summer, so I was barely online . I've always wanted to try this technique but have been leery of only cutting through one layer of the backing film. Now I know I've got to give it a try - this is so beautiful and a great take on the challenge.
