I tend to like to use all kinds of accents and embellishments when I create a card but I challenged myself to follow the thought of "less is more" for my project I wanted to share today.

I like to make cards to send to friends from photos that I have taken.  This photo of the red poppies was taken in Jacksonville, Oregon last spring.  I makes for a simple, yet elegant card.  I started playing with my 922 Fountain 4-in-1 punch and came up with a very simple little accent. 

 
Here is a close-up of the little strip of a lacey, punched border. 

 
This photo gives you can idea of what I did.  I punched one entire border on a piece of cardstock making sure each new punch was close to the last one.  Experimenting lets you find the proper placement of each punch.  Once I had my piece all punched, I cut right through the border,  near the bottom of the little fountain part of the design.  The piece this is left over can also be used.
