Circles for Stamping and Blogging Sketch #76

 

Hello my friends......I had fun with today's sketch...trying to keep it simple and flat, that is..... We all need ideas for cards to mail out that don't break the bank so I hope you like what I came up with .

This could be a Christmas card or a thank you...what ever the occasion needs. 

 

I love the silver with the Pistachio Pudding color....and the Designer Series paper All is Calm gave me a few circles. 

I used the doiley behind to soften the circles...it adds that delicate edge I think. For a little pop of color I used a circle of Blackberry Bliss behind the sentiment. It is from Chalk Talk. A closer view of the the background that I ran through the Big Shot in the Polka Dots Embossing Folder. 

A few wonderful pearls here and there and a small little ribbon...in that fabulous Blackberry color and I was happy with the result. I put a little something inside to break up the vanilla card stock ...

 

 A tiny line of All is Calm washi tape  and a couple more circles punched out of the DSP All is Calm from the Holiday Catalogue and the card was complete. Here is the sketch we had.. 

 

Now my friends off to check out all the fabulous creations that my fellow artists have made just for you.....
