Over the Labor Day Weekend I pulled out my Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies for the first time and created this card. It comes with 13 dies but I used only the largest one. I love blues and greens so I make a background with Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point and Garden Green using the Polished Stone Technique. If you haven’t yet tried this technique, you really should! It’s so easy and the backgrounds are gorgeous! You can read all about this technique here.
After creating the background and using the die to cut out the front, the rest of the card was easy to put together. I used the brand new Leaf Punch to cut two leaves out of vellum. My sentiment comes from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and was punched out with the Layering Circles Framelits in Garden Green and the leaves were placed behind it.
I’m babysitting my grandkids today and need to leave soon to take my granddaughter to school! Have a wonderful day!

Beautiful card, Tracy! That background is gorgeous. I need to try this technique. Glad I read your description as I didn’t see the leaves at first. Nice subtle touch.

Thank you, Cheryl! It really is a fun technique! Cut lots of paper before you start because you’ll want to keep going and going!! It’s very addicting. Thank you for leaving a comment! It means a lot. Miss you, friend!!
