Sending hugs

I needed a card for a crafting friend, to say "Hello" and send some light and warmth, so decided to make a layered die-cut card.
Cards with layered die-cuts are so special but are easy to make with the right die sets.
I started with a 15x15cm white card base, from a Fabscraps carders pack. the first layer was created by cutting white smooth cardstock 14,5x14,5cm and then cutting a square aperture from the centre, using the largest die from Crealis double-stitch square set.
The second square layer was created by using the second and third sizes (if counted from the largest to the smallest) of dies from the same Crealies set.
I then used the second and third largest dies from the Creative Expressions Millie set to cut the circular element.
The layered sentiment die is from the Creative Expressions mini sentiments collection. The range provides several mini sentiments for all kinds of messages for friends and family.
the card was completed by adding cheery pansies - some of my most favourites - from my stash of flowers, made with Heartfelt Creations stamp and die set. I love making a large batch of flowers and keeping them ready for when I need or want to make a card.

I am entering this card for the Double D February challenge, Hello February. I was inspired by the purple flowers in the mood board picture.
