After making this card, I realized I need a set of large circle dies.
I do have a circle cutter, but sometimes it can be tricky to get a clean cut with that. To create a circle large enough for what I wanted, I used a large tag die. I covered up the 'tag' part with flowers.
Behind it, I put the plaid panel I stamped.
Stamping plaid is so much fun. Depending on how you arrange your stamps, you can make an infinite number of different plaid looks.
This is for a co-worker. I bought a few little outfits for her baby that is due in February. One of them has a cute little elephant on it. I thought this coordinating card would be cute!
Thanks for coming by today.
