On the card base, I first dry embossed the second largest circle die into my card base. To create the window, I die cut the second smallest circle from the die.<\/p>\n<p>I blended on some lime green ink onto the card base and to add some interest, I used the Penny Black <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=10436&amp;CAT=stencils\">Oscillations stencil<\/a> and a darker shade of green to add the subtle dots. I also intensified the embossed pattern on the edge of the circle with the\u00a0 darker shade of green ink.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1387\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32673\" style=\"width: 600px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/MG_2635.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/MG_2635.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/MG_2635-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/MG_2635-768x888.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/MG_2635-886x1024.jpg 886w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I adhered the florals with some liquid adhesive and added gems to the flower centres.
