Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and I am hosting this time. I have chosen "Make a Shaped Card" for our "Topping" option this time. It can be square, oval, round, any shape but the standard A2 card (4-1/4 x 5-1/2). And if you are not into the "Topping" option, the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.
For my card I used Spellbinders Essential Stylish Ovals die and placed the folded card just inside the left side of the oval so it did not cut. I then cut smaller oval and embossed it with SU Timeworn Type EF. The flowers and leaves are from MFT Bold Blooms Die-namics and MFT Bold Greenery Die-namics. I die cut the large flower 2 times from SU Flirty Flamingo and layered it; then added a small flower cut from SU Blushing Bride to the center. I added a small flower on each side and then added the leaves. The sentiment is from SU Peaceful Moments (ret.) and cut with SU Stylish Shapes oval and layered on a scallop oval die cut from Flirty Flamingo. I added the sentiment with foam tape.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will check out all the shaped cards by the team and join in our fun challenge.
Very pretty JoAnn! I like the oval shape. Your horizontal placement of the sentiment oval looks terrific!

ReplyDeleteJoAnn, thank you so much for this fun challenge! I loved making this shaped card, something I don't do often enough! I love your Oval shape and placement of all your beautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteJoAnne this was a great challenge it pushed me out of my comfort zone because I almost never make a shaped card. You and I think along the same lines for shapes, but I love how you decorated the flowers on the front of yours. Just lovely.

Pretty card. I love the layered ovals and especially that you embossed the top oval. Great way to add dimension and texture. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Anything Goes with Dies Challenge.
