JustRite Papercraft - Garden Circle Die

Hello Friends,
I have a card to share with you created with the new dies and stamps from JustRite Papercraft. I love the new Garden Circle Die!!







I created a 6" x 6" card base from natural white cardstock. The next layers were cut a bit smaller from kraft and designer cardstock. The square layer under the circle measures 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".
The decorative circle was die cut with JustRite Garden Circle Die from natural white cardstock and matted with 2 circles that were die cut with Spellbinders Standard Circle dies.
The lace border was die cut with JustRite A2 Splendid Border Die. The flowers were die cut with Floral Trio Two Dies, and for the leaves I used Open Leaf Vine Dies. I used Distress inks to color the flowers and leaves.
I stamped the sentiment from Chrysanthemums Clear Stamps onto natural white cardstock and die cut with the small circle from Four in a Square Dies

Supplies:

JustRite Papercraft: Garden Circle Die, A2 Splendid Border Die, Four in a Square Dies, Floral Trio Two Dies, Open Leaf Vine Dies, Chrysanthemums Clear Stamps.
