So now let's EXPLORE BEYOND with a FUN TECHNIQUE!
 This Card is made using the Distressed Edges Dies and Floral Ribbon Threader Dies
 My Finished Card uses the Scor Pal, Distressed Edges and the Flower from Floral Ribbon Threader Dies

Here is how I created the Pattern above.........
 
 Using the Scor-Pal score Cardstock every 1 inch. 
Turn paper and score again at every inch on diagonal.

 
Use the Flower from the Floral Ribbon Set inside each square.  Make sure to tape so you have the flower in the center of each square you choose before die cutting.
Take Dusty Concord Distress Marker and the Tim Holtz ruler and draw stitch marks on the score line.
Then die cut using the largest die from the Distressed Edges Set

By leaving Cardstock in the die it gives you a white crisp outside emboss line like this :)

 This is a closeup of the scoring, stitching, and flower cut outs.

Layer onto Seedless Preserves Cardstock using E6000 Spray Glue

 
Cut two of the rectangle dies from the Distress set (Largest in seedless, smallest in White)
Cut one flower outside from Floral Ribbon Die and Stamp SEW inside and draw stitches.
Stamp sentiment onto white Cardstock from Sew Sayings Clear Stamps.
Ink edges with Dusty Concord and add buttons to finish card.

Ice Resin & Molding Putty Card

 I used the following Products to create this card:


 Close Up of the Ice Resin with the Enamels Glitz Silver brushed
onto the Cardstock and also filled the bottlecap with the ice resin
over top of my stamped Bottle Cap Stamp Image and let it dry for a few
hours then added a Swarovski Crystal to the center


 The Molding Putty Mold I created for the leaves on my card.
I dabbed Viva Decor 3D stamp paint onto my Ice Resin leaves
to match the Silver Glitz in the Ice Resin. I brushed the rose with
the same Ice Resin and added a Swarovski Crystal into the center.

Below is the Video showing how I created this
card and also how to use Molding Putty
