A Circle Card

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Johanna has chosen #276 A Circle Card - this can be one circle or more. To see the inspiration from our design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white 6" sq. card For the base I added a piece of green card with gold foil leaves. Using a shutter die in the centre of a 5.5" sq white piece of card, I added this to the main card with 3d foam pads. I then die cut flowers and created a small area of three flowers with leaves and crystal gems in the centre of the flowers. The sentiment is from a Hunkydory 'Just My Type' sentiment pad. Take care everyone.

 Hello, welcome to my blog. Today is May 4th (be with you). It being my time to choose the theme, for the Make My Monday challenge, I had to choose #277 Star Wars Day - a Space Project. Blame my love for this theme on me having two sons and five grandsons. All of whom love Star Wars. To see the design team's inspiration please visit the blog. May the force be with you on this theme. Ha Ha.

For my card, I began with a recent purchase from Hunkydory of white 7" edgable die cut card. this one is  stars, I also have hearts, butterflies and flowers on the edges. I covered the front and a panel inside with silver Mirri card , then added a sheet of Stunning Skies  Duo Design paper pad from Hunkydory. I coloured the stars with an alcohol pen, then added Stickles silver glitter. I die cut a circle shape of the planets and moons, placed this on the card, reducing the piece to fit the lower part of the card. The two spacemen(women) are free printables for children from Pinterest. Coloured with alcohol pens. the sentiment is from a Just my Type paper pad.  Happy Bank Holiday to all in the UK.
