One die - two ways

I picked up a new shape die.  It is from Spellbinders and it is so cool.

 Of course, I needed to play with it so I made it fit in with a few challenges.  First off, the retro sketch.  LOVE this sketch!

 This die is a two step die. One piece cuts the shape and the other piece cuts the doily design.  Here I didn't cut the doily design, I embossed it.  I used a little bit of a rub of brown stamp pad ink to help the details show off a bit.

 Here is the retro sketch that was my inspiration.

 Next off, this card uses the Dynamic Duos color combination and the Freshly Made sketch. 

 I embossed the silver paper for the card and the die shape is cut with the same die using a mirror finish placemat.  I was hoping that the die would cut the plastic and it wouldn't but how cool is the design that was cut into the plastic?  I had to hand cut the outside of the die along the lines that it did cut.

 Here is the Dynamic Duos color combo.

And the Freshly Made sketch.
