A Special Friend

Happy Friday! Today I’m kicking off our new March contest with a fun flowery creation that’s loaded with embellishments.

When I found out one of the monthly themes was Fabulous Flowers I instantly thought of all the gorgeous Hero Hues Art Print Flowers. I laid out all the different flowers on my desk and came up with this happy color combo.

Card by Kelly Rasmussen. Find complete supplies and instructions here.

After die cutting all the circles and placing the flowers on the card I filled in the smaller circles with some other coordinating embellishments. I love how easy it is to pull a card together when you have matching papers and embellishments!

To create the circle pattern on this card I first started by die cutting various sizes of thin white circle frames. Then I laid them out on my card to determine a pattern and then die cut circles from the Pool Layering Paper. Here’s a photo I snapped while I was creating this card that might help you see how it all came together.

This card definitely took some planning to get things lined up just right, but it was totally worth it. I’ve already got plans for another version using all different patterned papers in the open circles.

Thank you so much for joining me this week! Hope you have a creative weekend!

    I must try this card making someday! I love the idea very much! What more is that the cut out circles can be used for other projects which saved a lot!

    The card is super cute. I would be interested to see what tools you used to make the circles and the process of cutting. Please share if you can!
