Recreating a card by Debby Hughes

I saw this card on Pinterest and knew that I would have to recreate it. 

The picture of the card has the link to Debby Hughes' blog spot. Debby created it for a Moxie Fab Challenge featuring the  current trend for navy and white.

I don't have the die she used so I used a craft blade to cut the stems and flowers. I made my card 7"X 41/4".  I'm satisfied that I did recreate it but it doesn't have the crisp clean cut that a die creates.

Navy and white

Debby first cut the navy card stock with the die so she had a negative white space.Then she used dimensional adhesive to lift the second die cut. 

There is no way I could create a duplicate negative space accurately. With the two cards so close, comparing them I'm not so pleased with mine.  
I can't buy every die that I love...ahh shucks. That's why I have to be creative. I might have to try it again.

Thanks for the inspiration Debby your card is simply divine.
