One Layer - Floral

For any of my visitors planning to joining in the Crafty Calendar Challenge this month with the theme 'Unusual Folds', please note that the challenge closing date has been brought forward to tomorrow, 20th September at 8pm (UK time).  As LOTV are this month's sponsor this will give the randomly chosen winner time to chose their digi stamps before the end of September, after which the LOTV digi stamps will no longer be available.

 The Less is More Challenge is back to the dreaded One Layer with the theme of  'Florals'.

I made an embossed frame in the card front by using a die from the Sue Wilson 'Innsbruck' set of dies, using the die to just emboss.  It's a dull day today and under electric light it's hard to get a clear photo of the complete embossed oval, but it looks fine IRL. Using a stamp platform, I positioned a flower and sentiment stamp from the Happy Little Stampers 'Especially For you' set of stamps inside the oval.  I used a  Memento 'London Fog' ink pad for stamping to give a softer finish than black and coloured the flower with Promarkers.

I am joining in the following challenges:
1. Less is More Challenge #380 ~ ONE layer Florals

    This is really so elegant and pretty Liz and love the daisy inside the beautiful and ornate oval which looks great using the SW die to dry emboss, and a nice simple sentiment too. x
