www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Crafting With You stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used to make a pretty floral card

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to back the panel with and found a Pretty Peacock scrap that I though might look nice just peeping out on each side………. Sadly, it didn’t. I ended up cutting the piece in half diagonally and adding the triangles with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive in the upper right and lower left corner. I had originally planned to trim off the pointy bits but decided I liked them.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I die cut a stitched circle from the front panel of the card.

I placed one of the 3⅞” by 3⅝” panels of Basic White card onto the inside part of the card and lightly drew around it with a pencil.

The larger circle, from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set, was inked up by pressing the Parakeet Party ink pad to one half and the Fresh Freesia pad to the other half. I stamped down onto scrap paper before stamping in the centre of my pencil circle. The pencil line was then erased. The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink in the centre of the inked circle and the panel was then glued in place.
