Hi everyone, Well I tried and tried to do the out of the box tech and all I have to show for it is a pile of paper! lol I hate to admit defeat but I should can't figure it out! I watch the video~didn't help. I guess I'm out of the box challenged! I decided to do it a way I could understand. I stamped the daisy, used a ruler to mark across the square, used my cutter to cut in and cutout around the top of the flower. So much easier for me! I would have liked to use a die to get a more interesting shape~but it wasn't to be"! I stamped and heat embossed the image. Colored with copics. I distressed the edges and sponged on DI tea dye. Added the twine, gingham and button. Now I am going to try Joan's TLC~hope it goes better! lol
Thanks for looking.
Hugs Linda

You know what, Linda, I struggle using the dies for this too, unless the lines of the image are really straight! That's why my bunny card was a square box, done just like yours! This is really pretty, love your colors and the twine, button, and gingham ribbon!

You aren't the only one who can master using the dies for this technique. Yours is perfect! I love your colors, twine/button treatment and that awesome saying! Very nicely done my friend.
