Mark’s Finest Papers -
I love the circle frame, but wondered if I could make that circle into an oval. Why yes, yes I can!
To do this, I first stamped my sentiment onto the patterned paper using black pigment ink and clear embossed. Next I cut/embossed the oval using Spellbinders oval die. I took that oval and laid it onto my table, then put my stamp positioner on top of that and formed the circle into an oval, taking care to make it match. I inked the stamp with black pigment ink and stamped onto the light pink cs and clear embossed. Align the Spellbinders Labels 13 and cut/emboss. Cut/emboss Labels 11 from darker pink dotted paper. On light pink card front, emboss lower edge with Textile Texture Cuttlebug folder. Stamp flourish onto top corners using Black pigment ink and clear emboss. Pop up layers as desired and attach to card front. Attach bow of black/white dotted organdy ribbon.
So, there you have it. You can change the shape of a clear stamp. That makes it even more versatile.
Thanks for stopping by!

That is a seriously cool idea!! I didn't think about changing the sahpe. LOVE this, especially in this color combination. Beautiful!
Meant to type shape in the above post but don't know how to fix it :)

love card.
"pretty in pink" says it all!
I've never tried to alter the shape of a clear stamp, but you've shown how beautifully it can be done! I love the background stamping on the sentiment panel, and especially the partial embossing on the card front. Every detail is just gorgeous!!
Great idea to make the circle an oval, Karen. Beautiful card!
I like the mix of diecuts around your sentiment and the little bit of embossing across the bottom of your card.
Brilliant! Definitely going to give this a try!!!
Love that pink creation Karen! Another reason to like those clear stamps huh?
