I started with a snippet of white card cut into an approximate 6" square and embossed with a Docrafts Embossing Folder called Hearts and Kisses which is difficult to find at the moment. I extended it to make it square, and then using my brayer I inked it with some Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and made it slightly darker with Adirondack Eggplant Ink.
I then cut this piece with the Ornate Frames using the four largest dies. I then inked round the edges of the main mat and each of the die cuts with the Eggplant ink. I also cut the smallest die shape out of another snippet of white card and stamped a sentiment on to it also using the Eggplant ink.
I die cut two of the Cape Daisy flowers and one of the delicate fronds and blended the same two inks on to them using some blending foam. I cut the frond into several pieces so I could frame the flower.
I finished by adhering the nested die shapes by size and replaced the smallest patterned piece with the sentiment plate in the centre, and layered up the flowers and fronds on to a corner of the Ornate Frames.
Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see you again soon.

Super card, Pat, so fresh looking. I love how you've used the Ornate Frame dies, adding some extra interest, but keeping the embossed pattern. The flower and leaves are so pretty too. xx

Such a gorgeous card, so effective with those different sizes of dies. So much texture and so creative. Very pretty, fabulous layout and love the embossing folder. So eye catching x
This is lovely Pat, I like the embossing folder very much and the way you used the dies. Inking all the edges makes it look quit dimensional.
