Having seen an oval shaped layered card, I wanted to try one for myself. Recently I purchased these oval infinity dies from Hero Arts (love infinity dies) so I pulled out the largest one and cut 4. Then I chose two other sizes and cut one of each. I wanted to put the ovals together without having a weird edge at the top of the card so I made a hinge inside them and then to cover up the hinge I added the other 2 over the top making it look tidy inside. The next size oval was added using foam tape and the final one was glued after I had finished the stamping etc. I don’t know who made the rubber stamp and it is one I’ve had for quite a while. I stamped the image twice using my Misti and then again on another piece of scrap CS. This was coloured using Inktense pencils and water. I coloured two additional flowers on the scrap piece and fussy cut them so I could pop them on top of the original image. The sentiment is from a Joy Clair set and I rounded the ends before adhering. A few Trinity Stamp embellishments to finish it and I was happy.
The card will be entered into the Seize the birthday challenge. Thanks for stopping by it is appreciated.
Your flowers are lovely and beautifully colored. I really like the oval shaped card.

Hello Johanna! So glad that you joined us at Seize the birthday. Your card is absolutely amazing! I enjoyed the multiple ovals to put that spray of flowers on. The technique of fussing cutting that extra flowers to pop them on top is genius and makes for a special card.
