Circle Friendship

Another rainy day today, but we need the rain bad. My grass was crunchy like it gets in August. This will help a lot.

I worked on a couple of cards yesterday. The card I am sharing today uses the color challenge at Colour Create. You were to use Khaki (I used Kraft), Aqua (I used Baja Breeze), Brown (I used Soft Suede) and Cream (I used Very Vanilla). There was also an additional challenge to use circles. Here is the picture that they posted that I got my inspiration from.

I decided to use the sketch challenge from Card Patterns. I thought it fit my idea very well. I decided to use the circle idea to create my background. I punched circles and layered them and then randomly placed them on my background. I decided they were too plain so I used the circle swirl from A Beautiful Things to give them some texture. I decided to use the same circle swirl to add some interest to the sentiment layer as well as inside. The rest was a matter of punching and layering. I needed a ribbon at the bottom so I used white taffeta and colored using the ink pad and sponge dauber. I wanted different layers to my ribbon so I cut them different lengths and layered. I tied the layers together with linen thread and threaded them through a button and tied it with a bow. Here is the sketch and my creation.
