O is for Oval with One Word

Everyday, flowers, Ocassions, Taylored Expressions

Hello friends!  Happy Friday and happy Halloween too!🎃  I might be having a few treats tonight, but hopefully without any tricks involved! 😉 

Today is a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog!  Our next letter is “O”, and our hostess, Helen, has chosen “Oval with One Word Sentiment”   I hope you will join in the fun with us!  *Please remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter.*  Here’s the project I’ve made for this challenge:

I usually make cards with a specific theme, but I rarely make cards with just an “any occasion” involving a simple sentiment like “hello”, so I went with this in mind for the challenge.

I started with a Taylored Expressions Foil It-Framework panel (one of the panels had a nice oval shape), and foiled it with a gold foil.  While I was foiling, I also decided to foil the sentiment from the TE Foil It-Timeless Greetings and cut it out with the coordinating die.

After foiling, I pulled out the TE Masking Stencil-Framework (coordinates with the foil panel) and used it to stencil the center oval with the TE Mini Slim Stencil-Trellis in light blue ink.  I then took the left over ink from the blending brush and lightly went over the entire inside oval shape.  On a separate piece of white cardstock, I stenciled the TE Cottage Charm Stencil & Die Combo and attached the floral spray on each opposite ends of the foil oval.  I was trying to go for Autumn style colors for the flowers, but the red tone looks a bit more pink in the photo now that I’m looking at it.  I still like it though.

I attached this panel onto a light blue A2 side folding card base, popped up the gold foil sentiment in the center with foam tape and added a couple of gold gems.

  • I hope you like my card today and you will pop on over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the design team.  Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Thanks so much for dropping in and I’ll be back tomorrow with another post and challenge!

  11. Your card is a beautiful celebration of softness and elegance. The gold foiling adds such a refined touch, and the pastel tones paired with the trellis stenciling create a serene, welcoming atmosphere. I especially love how the floral sprays frame the oval so gracefully—it feels like a gentle embrace around the sentiment. This design is a lovely reminder of how impactful simplicity can be.

  13. This is gorgeous with the pastels and the foil! I love it! I really need to get my Glimmer machine out… it’s been several years since I’ve used it. I hate it when I just HAVE to have all the newest gadgets and then they just in their boxes and rarely get used. But I don’t want to get rid of them because as soon as I do, I’ll want to use them! Ugghhhhh… story of my life (and most other crafters, I’m sure). Bahahahaha!

  16. SO pretty. Hope it’s ok I find it more Spring/Summer rather than autumn tho. I haven’t gone down the foil path but find it so appealing and fancy. I have however been getting a lot of stencils – LOL, just collecting, not creating 🙂 I really love the “simple” look to this!

    1. Thanks Lola! If you ever do get started on foiling, I find it very addicted to keep going with it! I have “collected” so many things as well and it’s so hard to use it all! LOL
