French Dies {Fri}: Multi Circles Window Thin Cut

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I have a card to share today, using die cuts from my scrap box and CTMH Multi Circle Windows Thin Cut...I found these starburst die cuts and decided to use them all!

I layered the die cuts and also colored alternating layers with Shimmer Brush. I trimmed 2 of them shorter before layering the Flowers (Every Bit of Wonderful) with foam tape. Flowers were colored with clear and yellow Shimmer Brushes...

I adhered the Multi Circle Windows on card, arranged the floral cluster, splattered Clear Shimmer Brush, and added some Blue Belle Sequins.
