Another challenge

Goodmorning to all of you!

Today I'm participating to another challenge by Embellish Magazine.



This time I used a lot of elements. Paper, a flower, a sticker and even some lace!
The only trick I did...was to use only one sticker which I trimmed and sticked on the the right top and bottom of my card. It seems as if I used an oval sticker. Doesn't it look nice?

I hope you enjoy. Have a nice day...
