Hello everyone. The Alphabet Challenge is starting a new challenge. We have reached the letter ‘O’, and Helen has chosen the theme of:
‘O is for Oval and One word sentiment’
Here is my card:

For this card I chose to use the Press Plate from Pinkfresh Studio ‘Oval Blossom‘. I first used orange ink for the press plate, which colours the outside of the blossom image, then used the oval die and scalloped die which comes from the same set.
The sentiment is also a Press Plate from Spellbinders, inked with the same orange die cut with a stitched rectangle die which would leave a white edge to match the scallop on the floral image.
The background navy panel was cut slightly smaller than an A2 card size, and dry embossed using a very, very old embossing folder, which I believe is from Darice.

The final touch was to add some pearl gems to some of the background flower centres.
I hope you can come and join us with your creations following our theme. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – add some texture
Beautiful Blossoms – florals
Ally’s Angels – anything goes
