This is my card for my first Technique Challenge in ages! What an awesome one! We were supposed to choose a sketch, color and technique challenge to do a card. I chose Elements of Style for my image, stamped the large flower bouquet twice, chose three "tiles" to punch out and layered them in red for my color challenge of red, black and white. I used my paper piercer and black marker to "stitch" around one of the layers for edging. I added gel pen accents to the flowers for some bling, but wanted to keep it simple. The DSP is from the Neutral paper pack.
I hope you like it....so many choices to make! Thanks so much Toy for such a wonderful challenge!

Very realistic looking faux stitching and such a gorgeous card. I don't often think of cutting up a larger image, but when I see it I always think how good it looks.
