This time I cut and embossed a piece of white card stock with my Splendid Circles die set (Spellbinders) BEFORE I stamped my focal. Then I traced around the inside of the die onto a post-it note to form a mask that I placed before stamping (otherwise the leaves would have stamped onto the fancy edge and looked a bit strange). I did the stamping with copper ink, and then colored it with metallic cream chalks. I also used the die and chalks as a stencil to color in the raised part of the frame.
To get a circle the right size for the mat, I simply traced around the outside of my die and then cut that out. A bit of ribbon & may card is done.
Oh yea, I meant to mention that for a lot of the cards I've been posting lately I've been using paper from 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" mat stacks from Die Cuts with a View. They work so nicely for cards! I love having a bunch of coordinating papers to work with, and the small size is just right for many of my cards.
