Here we go!

For this card I also used the colors in a Color Dare challenge. I used the Smoothie, Linen, Mint, Peach, Carolina and the Gold. I also used different sized Circle Thin Cuts to cut out the holes in the focal point.

Here is a close up of the opening.

I used a sponge to darken the inside edges to make them show up a little. I stamped the stamp on two layers and fussy cut the top edge and that circle out with my scissors on the second layer inside. Everything is painted with stamp pad colors using a Clear Shimmer Brush except the mint and the gold center of the larger flower. I used the Mint and Gold Shimmer Brushes. 

I just love how these Shimmer Brushes give the card a sparkle. I have been using my All Purpose Mat, squishing color from the stamp pad on it and picking up the color with either the clear Shimmer Brush or a Water Color Brush. Easy peasy, and you don't have to worry about cleaning out the lid of your stamp pad!

I layered each layer with our 3-D foam and the fussy cut flowers on top also. 

Here is a picture of between the layers.

The stamp set is still available and is the 

D1821- Feels Like Home-Scrapbooking set. 

This stamp set is really fun! It has a tiny water spatter stamp I used to texture the different layers of Linen and I used Pebble stamp color for a lighter effect. It was perfect. 

The "Hello" comes from a previous Stamp Of The Month which is no longer available. Below is a collage of products and the colors I used on this 

card..........

You can check out the Color Dare Blog here and see more creative art.

And here are the Basic Circle Thin Cuts I used on this card. There are several different shapes of Thin Cuts and some of the stamp sets have their own Thin Cuts to cut out the design. These are offered with the stamp set as a set or you can purchase just the stamp set without the Thin Cuts.
