I cut the male silhouette from the cartridge and added a shadow layer by enlarging the bottom layer. I have included that in the file available for download below.
I pop dotted the male silhouette onto the card.

Hi Joy this is a wonderful male card. I wish I could call you right now I am trying to cut sown flakes and am ready to toss My Expression. I have changed blades, tried different paper, pressure, speed, blade depth and the paper gets all rolled and is a mess. I have wasted about 5 sheets of paper so far. Do you have any tips?
Love the Victorian Cartridge and the Country life is one I don't have. But more than winning something I would love a tip on how to get these snowflakes cut out.
Thanks,
Linda
how wonderful this manly card is, something any man wouldnt mind showing his buddies. thank you very much
I would love to win this cartridge. Love the cards.
Another lovely card - thank you for sharing!
I keep coming back to see the balloon card - it is beautiful and original!
