Circle challenge

Morning everybody,

Yesterday was very very hot and humid day. Reached 41 degrees. Real feel was 45 probably. Stayed indoors the entire day, except when dropping and picking kids from school. I am hoping today is not as bad as yesterday. Can't stay indoors anymore. Have some errands to run.Going to Woolies again! lol!!!

Well, I made this card below for a circle challenge at Claire Daly's forum.

I punched out different size circles out of a scrap cardstock. Used the negative as a stencil on Whisper White cardstock and sponged out different colors. The colors I have used here are Tangerine Tango, Summer Sun, Kiwi Kiss and Pink Passion. I then stamped images from Fresh cuts stamp set using Staz on ink. I punched all of them out and arranged them on a Basic Black card.
Do you collect all the little stripes of cardstock after you punch out the scalloped border? Well I do!!!. I don't know why but I have a drawer full of all bits and pieces of cardstock. I am hoping I will use them someday. The Baja Breeze strip on the card is a left over cardstock from that drawer. I got the idea of using them like that from a card on the sale-a-bration catalogue.To complete the card, I added the rhinestone brads

I like the card. Hope you do too.
Have a great day!

Perth Regionals Swap 3

Morning everybody,

How are you all? I think I should be tired by now. I should be on my second flight heading to India at the moment. This is a scheduled post to show my third set of cardfronts I made for the swap.
Its a bit different style for me but I like these very much.

 

 

And here is a card made using a similar cardfront and come cyrstal effects.

I love the use of white card ink on the kraft cardstock. Subtle and pretty.

I have used Fresh cuts and Dream dr jour stamp sets, 3 heart punch, Bella Rose DSP, Designer paper II, Chocolate chip, Pink Pirouette, So saffron and Kraft cardstocks.

Will definitely be using more of soft subtle colors and white caft ink on Kraft cardstock.

Alright see you tomorrow for more. Hopefully I will have access to internet. But I am sure I will not be able to load photos into my blog as internet in India is usually slow and I will be super busy with meeting family and friends. So it will be a scheduled post again showing my fourth set.

Have a great day

Hugs
