I named today’s card “Circles of Beauty,” designed with Brushed With Beauty Designer Paper and Spotlight On Nature Dies. I began by using the largest of the three circle dies to cut a pattern of Brushed With Beauty DSP. The circle was glued to Basic White Cardstock, 41/8″ X 5 3/8″, after I gave the white layer texture with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Circles of Beauty
Next, I used the medium circle die to cut a pattern of Petal Pink, layered it for thickness, and placed it on Dimensionals.The smallest of the three circle dies was used to cut the flowers. I was delighted that the flowers from the designer paper fit within the circle perfectly. This will make those opposed to fussy cutting very happy. After layering the flower circle for thickness, I attached it to the medium circle with Dimensionals.

“Just” and “because” are from the Words Of Beauty Bundle. I used a die to cut “Just” from Petal Pink DSP, and “because” was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink on the same DSP. Then, I used a label die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To complete my design, I dotted the “j” with a Pearl Of Beauty, and added two more by the word “because.”
