Tips from the show

• The torn-edge die from the set can be used to create a vintage, weathered look by running the petunia through it.
• You can soak the cardstock in water, scrunch it, dry it on a radiator, then flatten it and ink over the creases for an aged appearance.
• The design works beautifully on belly bands wrapped around gifts.
