Wow, that looks like it would have awesome possibilities!
Any ideas on how to get perfect circles though??? I don't have the curvy cutter or anything that big, so I might have to trace around something round and cut it out...but I could see that going badly!
I haven't tried this yet. but have done others and keep resorting to tracing around large plates, serving platters, bowls, just about anything and everything. If you trace carefully and cut slowly you can make it come out pretty good. One thing I've found is if you are doing it on cardstock - not patterned paper, you can use a sanding block (like for your nails) or even an emery board and smooth out some of the smaller rough spots.
Well, Kristen, what I did was to take a sheet of typing paper and cut it to the square size I wanted the diameter to be. Use newprint if going for the 12 inch. I folded it down pretty narrow. Then I cut it to the shorted edge. Kept trimming it til it looked round. That was my template for the cardstock.
Like Peggy said, cut slow!

I'm starting on mine right now and I have the PERFECT size large plate to trace for the circle. I've used it before and it it exactly 12 inches, so it fits perfectly on a sheet of CS!

Such a cool sketch! I finally finished my page and got it uploaded. I'm gald I ws able to find that I had two big plates that were close in size for layering!
I had hard time with this, but I made it!! Wish Cozzule would come with at least 10 to 12" of circle then this would had been a breeze, but I did it!
I did this with the CC118. Stealing the Third by mama3boys at Splitcoaststampers
