I made a second card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge. I had a piece of the background left over and I wanted to play with the border punch and see if I could create a workable corner with it. I know this card doesn't look anything like the original inspiration:
but that is the card that started this journey to this piece. I deepened the colors on the sponged background and then took strips of the punched border and lined them up to forn a corner It's not perfect but I think it works ok. The flowers are Primas that I sponged more color onto and added a gem to the center.
