Lattice 1

Isn't this lattice just stunning?  This is
the very first card I made with
Cheery Lynn Designs Lattice.
It has been die cut using medium brown
card stock.  A soft yellow scrapbook
paper covers the card front with the
perfect A2 size lattice attached over the yellow.
The punched flowers are from various punches,
all from Punch Bunch.
The large leaves are a 
Spellbinders die.

The flowers are shaped.
SHAPED?
Here is how-
1. punch out the flower with your choice of card stock
2. place the flower on a mouse pad or thick craft foam
3. gently rub the flower with a large stylus until it cups around the tool
4. turn the cupped flower over and use a smaller stylus to press in the center.

This is an easy technique, time consuming if you want a lot of 
flowers, but the results are impressive.
I have even shaped larger leaves, butterflies and dragonflies.
I don't see why you couldn't try this with any punched 
or die cut piece of card stock.
