Then I stamped the outline in a rich Chocolate Brown ink from My Favorite Things.
I used the smaller outline die to cut out the entire vine, then used the larger outline die to cut a piece of black card stock. These layer together beautifully!
Once I put the floral paper down on the card base, I knew that I needed a nice oval piece for the center. My oval dies from Spellbinders are great, but I wanted something narrower because I didn't want to cover up the pretty flowers too much. This is where having a Silhouette Cameo really comes in handy! I figured out the ideal measurements of my ovals and simply created one that would fit perfectly. I cut this out of the pale purple dotted paper, then cut a slightly larger oval from white. For the scalloped piece, I found a round scalloped cut file in my library and simply resized it to fit my card. I could have found a scalloped oval in the Silhouette shop to avoid any distortions, but I wanted to use what I already had. I think it turned out cute!
Assembly was very easy with the pieces. I kept everything flat and only popped up the leaves with some foam squares. The finishing touch was 3 little iridescent bubbles in colors picked from the patterned paper. Voila!
