City Crafter Challenge Blog - card #2

I bought my very first PTI impression plate weeks ago and was trying to use it on this card I originally made for the challenge at

City Crafter Challenge Blog

"Hello Doily"

but the plate did not work out well with my cuttlebug and I really do not like the outcome of this card

but I post it anyway, LOL!

Well, I hope this will take you to check the challenge out, you still have some time to play along with us at City Crafter Challenge Blog

You’ll use text to create and enhance embellishments and you’ll identify 10 ways to mold words into foundations for your art. You’ll also create your own word art and you’ll begin to view everyday props as vehicles to exhibit and enhance your stories

HELP!!!!!

I do have a question for my crafty friends out there

I just bought an impression plate from Papertrey Ink, but it didn't come out nicely when I use it with my die cut machine "Cuttlebug", I have been googling and also searching on the PTI site and blogs, but there just isn't enough information on how to use that on a cuttlebug (A lot of the designers from PTI use the impression plate with the big slot), if you have an answer for me, I would love to know, thanks!!!
