I know how to take the base off of the punch to do the lace-making technique, but HOW did you get this to curve? This is BEAUTIFUL, and demonstrating it would be the last little nudge anyone would need to buy this punch!!!

Wow! This is so elegant! How exactly did you do that with the punch? I can't get over how beautiful this is. I would probably go through a LOT of cardstock if I tried to attempt doing this, but I would love to learn. TFS!
Doing the punch around the curved lines of the oval was much more difficult and time consuming. I punched into cardstock many times but separate from each other and then with scissors continued to cut out each "punched" wrought iron shape out of the cardstock. Each piece was almost heart shaped. Then one by one I taped them around the back of the oval frame so that just the loopy part showed and I overlapped them so they looked like one piece of lace. I hope I have explained this so it makes sense! If not please let me know!
WOW! It looks like a lot of work but well worth the effort. I would only send it to someone who would really appreciate the time you put into it. It's really awesome!
I love what can be done with that punch.........beautiful work on your part. A person could quickly become punch happy with ideas like that. LOL......Well done!!!
