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.

Roxie, your card is gorgeous, love the DP, the image "just ordered this one", the coloring, the overhang of the flower on your main panel, the piercing and the tab at the top with brad.
