Penny Black - All-in-One Octagon

Hi everyone.  Today I've used the All-in-One Octagon (51-816) die with embossing from the newest release at Penny Black.  This is similar to the All-in-One Oval die.  I love the versatility.  You can also use the octagon frame separately (see this card), and you can use the card front embossed frame with octagon aperture separately too.  Or you can use it with both, as with the above card.

I used the second image from the beautiful Captivate (31-050) stamp set (also from the new release).  I stamped the image in black ink and clear heat embossed before watercolouring with my Zigs.  I loved watercolouring this image, combining orange and pink to create two-toned flowers. :)

I fussy-cut the bottom of the image so that the leaves and lower bloom go over the edge of the octagon frame.  I finished with a simple sentiment (Super Day), stamped in black and heat embossed with clear.

I'm giving this card to my Mom for Mother's Day, which is just a few weeks away in Canada. :)
