Elegant Circles and Congrats

Spring and the color lavendar go together like the finest pairing of cheese and wine. They simply belong together. I made this card for my youngest daughter on the completion of her medical assistant certification. She loves lavendar. I used the Spellbinders Colorwheel Lavender cardstock along with Neenah Classic Crest 110lb cardstock. I dry embossed a 4” x 5.25” piece of lavender with the Simon Says Stamp Boho Flowers Embossing Folder. It’s an ideal floral pattern for almost any time of year.

Next, I matted that to a cardbase 4.25" x 5.5". I used the middle-size circle from the Pink Fresh Studios Elegant Circles die set and cut it (and kept the center) from the white cardstock. I used the Spellbinders Betterpress You Are Everything Letterpress inking plate and matching die along with their gold foil to create the sentiment on my Spellbinders Glimmer machine. The flowers are from Pinkfresh Studios Breezy Blossoms where I used their matching stamps, stencils and dies. The ink is Lavender Glaze from Taylored Expressions.

I assembled everything as shown and added Clear Iridescent sequins from This Calls for Confetti (such a cool business name.)

I am entering this into the Tic Tac Toe Challenge using floral, free, and encouraging sentiment. I am also entering it into the As You See It Challenge with Congratulations cards being something I make a lot especially at times of graduation and (for our family) a record number of new baby announcements.
