Daisy panel before borders: 1 5/8” x 2 ½”, designer paper is cut ¼” smaller than the 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card size, the pinkish side is 2 3/16” wide
-Prismacolor pencil and mineral spirits is used for the image.
-I stamped the Itty Bitty Backgrounds along the edge of the designer paper, nothing more was done so the sponged look is just part of the paper. The paper was a great find; 25 sheets of 12 x 12” for one dollar.
-Cutting out of the box works best for me by holding the image up to a light source and marking the image spot you wish to cut to on the back. Cut to the image with your paper cutter on the front side, flip it over to the back and cut to the mark previously made then cut around the image with scissors. Although I didnÂ’t do this on this panel - any straight cuts between images works well with the Coluzzle knife/tool and any straight cut template.
-Paper piercing was done with Stampin UpÂ’s mat pack.
-The cross stitch was done with thread and needle after the holes were pierced.
-The image panel set up on foam squares.

Beautiful, as always, my friend! I love how you used the 'out of the box' technique, the daisy image is too sweet for words, and the cross-stitching is a great touch.
Thanks for all your hard work hosting the SC! You rock!

Lovely background paper. I like the way your image extends beyond the borders of you box. Sweet.

I really want to try the cutting out of the box technique and I think I understand from your directions. Maybe today is the day. I favorited this, Rox, for my learning curve. I love the colors in it and the overall spring feel. Thanks.
