Circles, Circles: Cute Daisy May Challenge!




I am adding my card I made for the challenge over at Cute Daisy May , as a guest design team member The theme this week is Circles and I literally took that as I needed to make a circular card:-) I don't know what goes through my head but Circles were all over the craft room last week! I enjoyed kind of stepping outside the box on this one, I usually do square cards its just what I love but I really wanted to try doing a circle which took a bit of practice to get it big enough, I ended up using a creative memories circle template to cut a circle then I measured and got a bigger one to use as my template. I could have made life easier on myself and pulled the cricut machine out but no not me, Ha. I used Bazzill card stock and used DP from Nana's Kitchen from DCWV pad. My circle nestibilities came in handy some circles were cut and stretched behind to fit the way I wanted them to, I colored my image with Copics and I actually took the design apart and printed just the branch and bird on one and the girl on another so I could pop her up with foam dots and bring her off the main circle to add to the depth:-) I inked the edges with a hint of one of my SU ink pads and I added white opal liquid pearls to the outer circle and then the scalloped edges have different size flat back pearls from Michael's craft store, I added hints of spica pens in her hair, her dress and the branch with colors black, chocolate, clear and peach.
Copics used were E000, E00, E11, R20 face, E35 branch, E25, E49, E53, E59 hair, BG000, BG01, B000Bird, G12, G40, G82 bows, Yr20, Yr12 dress
