Sabrina's challenge today is Dina's no line piercing. It reminds me of french knot stitching. I stamped the flower and did the piercing. Colored with copics and embossed with die. Added more piercing. Taking tiny ribbon made a french knot for the center...being careful not to tear the paper. Added the ribbon and lace. tfl

WOW! I love it, and did you ever do a great job on the knot in the middle. I don't think I would have the patience to give that a try!!

Very Victorian looking card! And I love Victorian. The piercing you added to the embossed frame really finishes the card. And I agree this technique does remind me of French knots - little tiny ones.

Wow, Linda! You mastered this technique. Your flower is stunning with its elegant framework and french knot centre. I have a coloured beehive sitting in my space that I can't figure out how to present;)
