I made this card to send to Arlene for the January Card Chain Challenge. I used the Colour Option (Aqua, Slate & Amethyst), the Sketch Option and the Theme Option (Friendship).
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white matt card blank
Lil'inker 'Modern Mehndi' stamps and coordinating dies
Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Classic Ovals Large' and Lawn Fawn 'Hello Border' dies
Sizzix 'Dots' embossing folder
Versafine Onyx black ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Dark grey Promarker
Woodware corner rounder punch
Snippets of white matt card, purple and grey textured card, and Funky Fossil 'In To The Blue' paper
I trimmed the white matt card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and rounded the corners. I die cut an oval from the upper part of the panel and used my embossing mat to emboss the edge before attaching it to the front of the card. I die cut an oval from a snippet of aqua paper before embossing it with the dots embossing folder and inlaying it into the oval on the front of the card. I used black ink to stamp the flowers onto purple textured card and the leaves onto grey textured card. These were embossed with clear embossing powder before being cut with the coordinating dies. I coloured the middle of the flower with a dark grey Promarker before attaching the flower and leaves to the the left side of the oval. To finish I layered two snippets of grey textured card and die cut 'hello' before attaching it across the bottom of the card.

This is a beautiful purple flower Kath, and perfect against the soft blue embossed dots within the circular aperture, and love the die cut sentiment that fills the width of the card. A very pretty card you received from Alice too. x
