I combined a couple challenges to create this card.
The layout comes from the Freshly Made Sketch #80 challenge. The colors are from the ColourQ #183 challenge.
To create the card, I first made a mask for the oval. I embossed the oval onto lightweight printer paper and closely trimmed it out. I temporarily adhered it to my Vanilla panel and stamped the flourish with Calypso Coral. Then I went back and did the actual embossing of the oval frame.
The butterfly is Calypso Coral ink on Blushing Bride paper.
To color the Pearls, I used a yellow Sharpie marker.
ETA – To get the embossed oval without the folder edge causes creases, I flip BOTH tabs of my BigShot platform up.
Whew, that is 3 cards in one day. And I think that seems to be my limit – I always seem to hit a wall after 3 cards. Hopefully I’ll have time to stamp during the week – there are just too many good challenges out there!
Thanks for taking a peek!

Hi Karen, this is just stunning! I love how you created your embossed oval. Gorgeous!! xx
Gorgeous card! Love the clean and simple look and how you incorporated the oval embossing along with the stamped flourish! Love the colors, butterfly and ribbon embellishments!!!
I just love you card and how you created the flourish and oval.
Please, please will you tell me how you get the oval to emboss on the card without the creases from the folder edges? I’m desperate to find out.
