Placing the same plain circle die onto one of the Basic White panels and drew round it lightly with a pencil. This marks out the area to stamp around. I positioned it so that it part of the circle would end up being trimmed off.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

I inked up the outline flower image with Polished pink ink and stamped it twice around the circle. I used the fill in stamp to colour the image but stamped off to give a lighter shade of pink. I repeated this with the Pale Papaya ink and the Fresh Freesia ink.

The buds were stamped in Soft Succulent ink and coloured using the fill in stamp and the 3 colours.

When the circle was covered, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Looks amazing. The panel was then glued to the Polished Pink panel.

I added the ⅛” strips of Evening Evergreen card to the other small pansies and added them at different heights to the inside panels, snipping off the excess. I added the leaves with a dot of liquid glue. Taking care that the card when folded down will still fit within the envelope.
