I have stuck it against some bright turquoise card and it does look better - but would be so much nicer with a sharp knife!! I even when out this morning and forgot to pick up a new pack of blades...
Entering this to Keren's Paperartsy challenge!!
off to try something I will hopefully have more success with, no cutting involved, ha ha!

Doesn't look too bad from a distance, seriously all you need is a sharp knife

Looks great- what are you on about!! A few new blades and you're on a roll!!
I agree with Keren!I love that colour background and it looks fine to me! I want to get a sharper blade for my knife too: they do blunt very quickly. You've reminded me to do this! Julie Ann xxx
Very cool effect.
I try to keep new blades on hand all the time, even then it take my brain a few "toss in the trash" pieces to remember to put the "NEW" blades in. LOL
Have read that for a perfect paper cut u need to use a new blade for each new project. I actually love the less than perfect cut look, another form of distress to add to future projects. Gorgeous colour background! :-) x
Nothing wrong with it,I always think we are our own worse critics anyway! It's looks a tricky thing to do,blunt or sharp knife!

Even without the new blade the cuts look pretty good to me. Anyway I haven't got the guts to try but you did! Pat on the back I think...
I think you've done an excellent job - well done xx
Looks good to me oo. X
It looks pretty good, you could highlight the rough edges by rubbing a little ink/paint on them or TG. Make a feature of them rather than try and hide them.
Very cool - and there's something very nice about the added texture from the slightly ragged edges... love the vivid blue peeking through!

I used the same stamp and it was really, really hard! One of my friends has great knife skills and I was going to bribe her to do it for me but she was sick! She used to work with knives! It was easier to poke a hole in and use scissors!

love this Helen the colour you've put behind looks great and that stamp is perfect!!
I think it looks great.
Oh that's beautiful!
I'm useless with a craft knife sharp or otherwise Helen to I applaud your effort which looks wonderful to me. Great how the coloured card behind makes is pop!
