C is for Circles

 

Hi, thanks for popping by, today we begin with our latest letter of the A-Z challenges we bring to you. Lynda .form the design team has chosen C is for Circles. To see more of the inspiration from the team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a 7" x 5" Kraft card. Using one of my very first stamps from years and years ago, (Creative Esxpressions, I believe, ) I stamped onto ivory card the script design. I then die cut two smaller circles and one slightly bigger in the centre. Using one of the smaller die cut circles, I turned it over and stamped Hello!. Using an old set of flower stamps and dies, I created the flowers and leaves using Memento ink - Espresso Truffle. added them to the card, along with adding foam pads to the ivory sheet to the Kraft card to raise it up. Finally I used a finger dauber to add a touch of Fossilized Amber DI to the flowers, then black small pearl gems to the centre of the flowers. I was inspired to make this card from looking on Pinterest. Take care  everyone, I look forward to seeing your Circles cards.
