I have an admission - I find this set and punch hard to use. I don't know why but I do. That being said I am happy with the way this card turned out. For other card pictures please visit my blog at www.narrowroadstamping.blogspot.com.

I agree with you, I am not sure if I like this stamp set & punch yet or not. I must say though, that I really like your card & the flower turned out so soft and pretty. I'll keep giving it a try, maybe it'll grow on me For Mzinkspot's question, I stamp first then punch.

I love this stamp set and punch. One tip (you will find it out quickly when you use it) always stamp in a line. Can't try to save space by alternating stamp--one up one down just doesn't work! Cut a strip of paper just about 1/2-1 inch taller than the petal you want to cut out--for large petal that would be about 2 1/2-3 inches. Stamp as many petals in a row as you need, leaving space between because punch cuts larger than stamped image. For the large petal begin punching from the left side of the row. For the leaves, punch from the right side working toward left. I often stamp the two smaller images on leftover pieces and then cut out by hand, but that is just me. It's good TV work!

Your card is so soft and pretty. I think you have used all your elements so beautifully together. I love your rose button, sentiment label and your Framed Tulips was perfect for your beautiful punched flower. TFS
