I cut the floral die twice, once in black and once in white. I layered the black die overtop of my white card base and then carried the design further down the card by piecing parts of the white die over top of the black layer. Make sense? Don't try this at home...it was laborious and time consuming! Then I messed up my sentiment and had to add the banner sentiment over top...honestly, I nearly quit at that point but did not want to throw in the towel after all that work!!! Sheesh.
I'm happy with final result but this is a one time only card for sure!!!
TFL and I hope you stamp today!!!

Glad you stuck with it because this is beautiful and I love the sentiment on the banner! I just got this set and I may have to try this laborious or not!

We all have those days. Sometimes you spend more time on some and less on others. Trust me, your card was well worth the time. It's a beautiful die on die creation.

This BLEW ME AWAY!!! SO elegant with the black and white, something I don't tend to do, but man you have totally inspired me. Love this, had to put it in my favs too. Wow, wow, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made me laugh when I read your description, sounds a lot like me--so many of my cards are a comedy of errors but yours sounds like a lot of hard work with great artistry, and you kept going when it wasn't so easy and was very time-consuming, but wow what you created--total art!!! FANtastic!!!
