Birthday Circles

Hello everyone. I’m still having some intermittent internet issues, but managed to put this post together whilst things were working. Cardz 4 Galz has stared a new challenge. Caz has chosen the theme of ‘Circles’. Here is my card:

For this card I used the ‘Dotty Turnabout‘ from Concord & 9th, something I have had my stash for quite a while.

I used the turnabout jig to position the stamp and inked and turned all four times.

I then cut this panel down and layered it with a matching layer then added to a white card base.

The sentiment is from Spellbinders.

I hope you can come and join us with your creations featuring circles. xx

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Hello everyone. Some crafty time yesterday created this card for a few challenges:

The background panel is a turnabout stamp from Concord & 9th. It was one of the many, many items received as part of their ‘Summer Camp’ virtual weekend. They always provide such a great number of items for this weekend event – and so many ‘camp counsellors’ which I know I regard in high esteem and watch many of their YouTube channels.

The first thing I did was the turnabout panel, using the colour scheme from the current Color Throwdown challenge. I used Concord & 9th inks, and their turnabout jig – which also came with the event – then cut that down to slightly smaller than an A2 card base.

I then stamped and die cut the separate flowers and leaves, and die cut ‘Jumbo Butterfly‘ from The Greetery, using the matching stencils to ink blend the colours on it.

The sentiment is also from the same event, and stamped into an oval, die cut from a Gina K Designs master layouts die set.

The oval was attached with 3D foam, the flowers and leaves added, then the butterfly, and some iridescent gem for the centre of the flowers – and some down towards the bottom right.

The gems are from Spellbinders, and reflect the colours around them.

I shall be entering the following challenges:
