Hi there! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend. I got a bit of crafty time today and I really wanted to play along with the sketch over at The Challenge as they are taking a summer break after this. I stuck very closely to the sketch and made use of some patterned papers and a few dies - no stamping in sight. I actually made two cards but the one below veered off from the sketch a bit by using a full circle instead of a half circle. I love my CAS designs but every once in a while I get a patterned paper bug and I just have to go with it!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Night of Navy, Early Espresso) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper: (Dolled Up 6x6, Indie Chic 6x6) My Mind's Eye
Dies: (Stitched Circles) Lil' Inker Designs, (Butterfly) Papertrey Ink, (Many Thanks) Essentials by Ellen
Gems: Doodlebug
ooh, look at all that design paper! These are so lovely Jen, I really must get out my design paper. I could make about 1000 of these and still have paper left over lol.... thanks for the inspiration and the reminder.
