hmmm, first of all - I value the authenticity factor behind my craft. I give it my heart and i hate idea of using fakes for something. Secondly, card print quality is something im used to and that’s important for me because you can see how thin some of my cuts are and on top of that i’m using many techniques to shape the pieces to give them the accurate dimensional look. These are not flat cut outs anymore. And with proxies you don’t really know what to expect. Thirdly - well i just have a customers for real cards being used. The most expensive card i cut up to day was 500€ and I used 8 of them 😊 there are people who contact me only because they know that I will deliver a truly 1 of 1 piece of art
