Circle Celebration for The Spot #153. WOW! I am so late posting about this week’s The Spot Challenge. The Challenge for me is to finish writing this post before it goes LIVE!! As ever, if you want to see the other projects, simply click on the image below.

For me, this sketch instantly shouted Circle Celebrations to me. It is such a great stamp set with, surprisingly, lots of circles in it!

I have used just one ink colour for this card, Bermuda Bay. The background is the Old Paper 3D Embossing Folder brushed with some Bermuda Bay Ink and a Blending Brush. I ripped the edges of the layer for an aged look. The circles have also been ‘aged’ using the edge of my Paper Snips.

The ribbon is the Crinkled Seam Binding coloured with the light Bermuda Bay Blend. The finishing touches of dots are from the Playing with Patterns Resin Dots pack. These are actually Coastal Cabana, but, for me, that is just a lighter shade of Bermuda Bay!

I hope you have enjoyed this project and will have a go at the Sketch Challenge this week. All the details are HERE.

Ordering Special!

I have an ordering special for qualifying orders placed between 1st and 31st March that use the following Host Code:

During March, in addition to my Ordering Special, I am continuing the Sale-a-Bration Celebrations by holding a Draw. Anyone placing an order in March will receive a FREE Mini Card Kit from me. This will contain products to make 2 cute cards using some of the Papers from Sale-a-Bration. All you need to provide are adhesives, ink and a sentiment.
