Leaves In Oval

Spellbinders beaded oval was used to
cut the dark plum card stock.
I then used the die itself to cut the
Karen Foster scrapbook paper.
A Coluzzle cutter used on the inside
of the die made a perfect oval.
I have found that the Coluzzle cutter works best
when used with the foam sheet that they recommend.

The leaf "ribbon in the center of the oval
is an EK Success Martha Stewart punch.
It was glued to the oval and the parts
that extended past the pink paper
were carefully cut with a straight edge.
I rather like the results.

The striped background paper is
another fantastic Karen Foster paper.
I have no idea if they are still making it.
I have had it for a number of years.
OK, I have hoarded it for a number of years.
