Floral Checkbook Cover

[Double U Leather]

Here's the latest from Double U. I really am happy with the way it turned out. I tried something a little different with the two tulip flowers and the stems. It worked pretty good. Anyway, take a look and let me know what you think. Stay blessed.

Very nice. I like the tulips and those stems. Very different.

Probably a personal preference: Try next time to keep your design inside the boundaries. That is: don't make the design look as though it is bleeding into your edge wrap.

Mark the piece with dividers so the design will stay inside a swivel knife cut.

The tooling is very clean, nice!

Nice job of tooling! I do agree with Ferg, though, the elements tuck under your borders just a little too far. It's done with petals, a lot, and is generally accepted, but, in my opinion, when you use larger elements like scrolls flowers and leaves, etc., we just want them to touch the border. I have done what you did here many times, and every time I do it, I wish I hadn't, LOL! Anyway, really nice job. Looks great!
