Here’s another card using the circle framelits to create a window to the inside of the card. The earlier versions can be seen here and here. For this one though, I decided to add dry embossing and used the Spring Flowers folder. I would point out though, that you need to cut the window in the card stock before doing the dry embossing or the embossing gets a bit flattened – unless you’re going for the “only slightly embossed” look. I personally didn’t care for it!

I cut the circle out with the circles framelits in both the pistachio pudding and the very vanilla cardstocks at the same time. I also had the pistachio pudding a little larger than I needed so that I could trim it to size afterwards. I then dry embossed the pistachio pudding with the spring flowers TIEF. As before, I cut out a small border circle using 2 of the circle framelits to put inside the card. To get the placement right, after putting some multipurpose glue on the frame, I opened the card and put the non-glued side around the hole. Then I carefully closed the card and the frame was in the right place.

I now stamped the flowers from the Painted Petals set inside the frame, using pistachio pudding and strawberry slush inks. All that remained was to trim down the embossed piece of pistachio pudding to fit and glue it down securely using SNAIL glue. I dry embossed the envelope flap with the same embossing folder to match.

See you  tomorrow,
