Well, I liked the look of today's technique, but I don't own any nesting dies; so, I used a masking technique to imitate the look. I punched a post it note with a 1 3/8" circle punch then punched around the hole in the post it with the 1 3/4" circle punch to create a ring mask. I used this to stamp my daisies then left it on while I sponged over it with Baja Breeze. I backed this with a 2 3/8" scallop circle in Marina Mist. I made a bg with Concord Crush embossed in the Elegant Bouquet ef. I made a triple bow to go along with the artist's rule of 3 challenge. I was trying to use last week's color combo but felt it needed the extra blue touches.

You improvised quite well. This is so pretty. One would never know you didn't have a die cut. In fact, I think I will give your way a try. Fabulous card today. TFS :0)
