Tip of the Day – Die-cut Shadow Sentiments
For this Tip of the Day Lou shows us how to make mats for your die-cut sentiments to create a fun shadow effect!
This simple, yet effective technique uses the outline of your die to create a border to fussy-cut. Why not try off-setting more than one border for different results!

For this quick and easy video tutorial, I've used the actual sentiment die to trace onto cardstock to create a shadow-effect matt. Take this even further by creating multiple matts in a range of colours and off-set them to create an ombré, colour burst or rainbow!
