Circle Circus

Hello There

Just thought Id pop on and show you this card I made for my newsletter a couple of months ago and was such a tiny picture I dont think it did it justice... Ithink this was for a colour challenge... Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip and Tempting Turquoise.

I remember having so much fun creating this card doing all the different layers with the circles and scallops and I think the colours just look stunning together. I really like the Circle Circus stampset aswell which I must confess I dont use as much as I should because its beautiful.

Supplies I used for this card is...

Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White Cardstock

Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise and Kiwi Kiss Inks

Stampsets are Stem Sayings and Circle Circus

Kiwi Kiss Vanilla Satin ribbon

Rhinestone Brads

Scallop circle, 1 and a quarter" and 3 quarter" punches

Sams Challenge

Late last year one of my very good customers Sam decided to challenge me. She made a kit up with the following contents...

• Apricot appeal card base
• Basful blue c/s
• 3 scallop circle punchies in bashful blue, apricot appeal and pretty in pink
• 3 five petal flower punchies also in the above colours
• 3 circle punchies also in the above colours
• 3 strips of ribbon also in the above colours

The first thing that came to mind was a bunch of flowers so I set about arranging them oh must have been at least a dozen times until I was happy with the layout. So here is what I came up with and I have to say it would have to be one of my favourite cards I have ever made. So here it is!!! Thanks Sam!!!

And here is a close up of the flowers...

I really enjoyed being challenged in this way!

Here is what I used - Wanted stampset, Tres Chic background stamp, Bashful blue, Apricot appeal and Pretty in pink inks, dazzling diamonds glitter (with 2 way gluepen), bonefolder and a pencil.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
