I really like the newest Slimline Stitched Circle Trio, I think it is a must have for those like me who love slimlines. You can easily create three holes, three spots for three scenes. Here I wanted to cut the two holes at the side but I didn't want to cut the central one, as I planned to put the giant Hey. I firstly die cut the slimline panel from a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and then I did some partial die-cutting, starting from one side and then moving to the other. I then cut a piece of 3,5"x8,5" Neenah Solar White cardstock and I ink blended the area behind the kraft panel using Distress Oxides in Broken China and Cracked Pistachio. I also splattered some acrylic paint to add interest to the blending.
I then die cut the In-Focus Florals die-namics from some white cardstock and some vellum. With dies like those, I really suggest you to use a metal adapter plate, to easily cut all the smallest details. I layered the vellum and the white ones in the two holes and I started working on the sentiment. I firslt cut the Hey script twice, one in white and one with Tropical Teal prestige cardstock and I used glue tube to add them to my panel. At the end I stamped and die cut the long sentiment from Friends Like you. I really hope you will like the result!

Hugs from Italy,
Very creative card, I loved the "partial" die cut and the layering of the floral circles with vellum.
Beautiful colors and blending. Thank you for sharing how you made this card.
I LOVE THIS CARD! So many elements and a lot of work went into this....but the ” simple elegance” is gorgeous.. the color combos, the use of vellum in some of the leaves, the use of light splatter and the balance of the large coordinated color of the HEY die. The entire layout is beautiful
