CIRCLE CIRCUS SKETCH CHALLENGE CARD

Happy Monday y'all! (I may have moved from Jacksonville, but I can still talk Jacksonville, LOL!) It was a REALLY busy weekend with lots of stamping going on here so to me that means the weekend was a GREAT one :-) The card I am sharing with you today is the one I made for today's sketch challenge over at the Stampin' Connection. My fellow sketch team member Liz did the sketch for today's challenge and it is fabulous! If you are demo, head on over to the site so you can play along! I decided to use my Circle Circus Stamp Set since I have not inked it up in awhile. I just wanted to have fun with this so I did lots of coloring and used some of my fave colors - Regal Rose, Ruby Red, and So Saffron - YUM! I also used my new scalloped edge corner punch which is available in the Occasions Mini catty, and I LOVE it!! I embossed the background of my Whisper White card stock using the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and then lightly sponged it with So Saffron Ink. The center flower is actually the same stamp stamped three times in three different colors and then popped up on dimensionals. The pretty in pink epoxy brad that I used as the center is also located in the mini catty and they are soooo FUN! So, a pretty simple card but it was really fun to make. Now, I am off to cut card stock for my next workshop and then get to stamping for tonight's class. Thanks so much for stopping by, it means a lot that you do!! Have a fabulous day!
