TodayÂ’s Ways to Use It Challenge is all about Ovals. Since ovals are one of my favorite shapes to use, this is my kind of challenge!
This card is actually not hard at allÂ…I started by running a glue stick all over a piece of plain card stock then smoothing a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil down on top of it. I cut one piece slightly smaller than my 4.25 x 5.50 card front, put it inside the fleur de lis embossing folder, then I put the lg oval frame of the Diffuser set on top & embossed. This left the oval center unembossed. I just happened to have a narrow black die cut oval frame that fit so I attached it around the oval. The 3 crosses were die cut out of trimmed off foil covered card stock I had left. I also embossed only the same crosses on black card stock, fussy cut them & attached under the silver versions.
On the embossed background, I used a black Copic marker to add the antiquing along the inside edges of each diamond shape & wiped it a bit w/ a paper towel as I went.
Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted on my blog: The Write Stuff
