Dimensional Flag

Created this card using a new item I got at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon on my phone. Have I mentioned I like my new smart phone and being able to use coupons without printing them. 

The new item is a Tim Holtz Sizzix Dimensional Cutting Pad. It is a piece of acrylic like the plates using for the TH Vagabond, Sizzix & many other cutting machines but the difference is that it is thicker & and has an indentation (think that is how I would describe it properly) in the middle. When used on top of a die with image face up the image is cut out on left & right side or top & bottom side leaving the image attached in the center. Tried it with a TH Butterfly that is the magnetic kind that goes in the TH magnetic tray but did not like the way it looked so I need to practice more with that. Have alot of older Sizzix dies that have one image and thought about the Flag and with it popped it looked like the Flag was waving in the breeze.

Used a sketch that you can see below.
