This is what I've come up with. I recently caved in and purchased a few more of my favourite rubber designs from LOTV. This one is 'Close your eyes' and it is so sweet. I can see I'll be using this one quite a bit.
I am also trying a different technique to emboss the top panel of my nestie cut outs. I previously ran them back through the machine using the tan embossing mats, but occasionally the die cut seemed to move slightly on this run through, and I'd get a mark around the edge of the cut. So now I'm embossing the panel by hand using a dry embossing tool, running it around the inside of the die cut. It works perfectly every time, and is just as fast.
This card is available to buy on my eBay listings
