I had one more bg piece that I'd created using the Wrinkle Free Distress technique....this one was only Night of Navy on Whisper White cs. I inked my tree in Versamark then Early Espresso and embossed in clear ep. I sponged Crumb Cake at the bottom and Bashful Blue in the sky. I used the flourish and flower from Season of Joy in Night of Navy in the corner. My greeting is stamped in Basic Black. I used Antique scissors from CM to cut the edges of this piece and some Night of Navy framing. I played and played and played trying to add a border strip (at this point my image panel was much larger). I finally thought of putting the strip on the edge of the card...silly me, I forgot this punch actually punches a strip not a border! So, I cut a 1/2" strip of Crumb Cake that I adhered to the back of the remaining edge and then adhered the punched strip and a strip of Navy. Now I was liking what I saw and was thinking I was finished, but thought...hmmm wouldn't that look even better with Navy behind it. I ended up cutting the entire front of the card off and mounting it onto a Navy card base. No more fiddling...I'm calling it DONE!

Good job with the technique and your card is gorgeous. Good job with the punch, too.

Nice look with the open flower border!
