Well, this card was a disaster. This looked like a really fun technique, but before I use my really good paper, I wanted to make a test sample. One of the things I learned was I don't want to make this card again using plaid dp. It drives me crazy that I couldn't get the lines to match. I used stickers from the dollar store, because since it was a test sample I didn't want to take all day on it. What I do like is how I have one of the flowers sticking up over the edge. When I do my next card with this technique I think I will try to have more hanging over the edges and out of the box.

Oh, MariLynn, I can totally sympathize with you!! I dp that I used also had a print, and I wanted it all to line up. I managed to do it, but my brain was not happy about it that early in the morning!! LOL The base of the card was a breeze though!
I like your purple plaid paper. The stickers you used look very pretty with it. I like purple... you don't see it being used as much. I hope this goes better for you with your next try.

MariLynn... good point you make about the plaid but no one will notice that... I think your sample came out very pretty! Love the stickers!
