Circle Congrats


Welcome to another challenge from the team at Freshly Made Sketches where Cecile Ribon is our sketch hostess this week.  I "sort of" stuck to the sketch to come up with this card.


I wasn't sure what to use for the circle element, then thought of a circle sentiment and it sort of grew from there.  I wanted a dark cardbase and found these floral images already stamped (score!) so this card came together pretty quickly.


The dark blue panel was embossed with a Linen cover plate to give it a bit of texture.  I finished with some enamel dots to match the sentiment.

Thanks for visiting!  The design team have some fabulous cards so I hope you'll check them out.

Stamps: Grouped Fresh Dahlias (The Ton)
Ink: Grass Fields, Tea Party sets (Altenew)
Cardstock: White, Dune, Oceanside (Spellbinders)

Cheers
Karren
