Facebook Live Replay 9th March 2021 – Circle Celebration. Have you spotted this fantastic stamp set on page 38 of the January to June Mini Catalogue? I am loving it!

I decided to use this set for my Facebook Live yesterday morning, and also to use some slightly different colours.

Firstly, I chose to use Very Vanilla for my card base and first layer. I was looking through my stock of card and was somewhat surprised by just how much Very Vanilla I seem to have at the moment. Time to use some of it I think!

My next decision was to use the, soon to retire, 2019-2021 InColors for one of my cards. I am never sure that people realise that the InColors will ALWAYS work together, so it is always an easy choice to do use them all. As we don’t have Purple Posy as an ink colour, I added it by using card and ribbon.

The sentiment is from the Ridiculously Awesome Stamp Set, which is one of my ‘go to’ sentiment sets, especially if I want to fussy cut the sentiment. I chose to heat emboss in gold on Pretty Peacock, which is a favourite combination for me.

My second card moved the stamping from the side to the bottom and replaced the InColors with Greys. My main colour for the second card was Gray Granite, which features in the Ribbon and Card as well as the stamping.

Gray Granite is a warmer shade than Basic Gray or Smoky Slate, so I only used a small amount of it in the stamping. I did a few 2nd generation stamped images to allow for their only being 3 colours in the mix.

Both my cards have stamping on the inside of the card too, simply to make the finished card more cohesive (a fancy word for working together!) I hope you like them and will take a look at the Circle Celebration Stamp Set.
