MFP Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge #275 - Border Punch Both Sides

I  like using border punches...it can really change the look of a card and they are a quick and easy way to add the little extra touch.  I embossed my background first, then used this flower border punch. My flower is from Mark's Finest Papers.

This was an awesome tutorial by Lois and I knew the minute I s aw it what I was going to do!  This is a birthday cake for my sweetie with all the things he loves.

Thank you to Mark's Finest Papers for the "Snowflakes" stamp I earned for trying the tutorials in the Christmas in July blog challenge.  They were fun.....can't wait to try more of what I learned!!
