Hope your all having a great day. Just wanted to share another card with you. This one was inspired by the Crafty Secrets Challenge. The challenge was to include as many circles, half circles or circle shapes on your card. I was very excited because I got my Crafty Secrets stamp a few days ago and finally got to use it on this card. The stamp is from the Sew Special stamp set. I stamped the image on water color paper 2 times, water color painted the image with metallic gold paint then cut them out for layering. I shaded the circle edges with distressed inks, embossed with cuttlebug, Foot Filed for an aged look, sewing detail, punched my outer circle with a pattern edge, added some vintage buttons, tulle, a usable vintage gold toned circle brooch and this is what I came up with. I still need to finish the inside with the matching stamp "You're Sew Special" and then make a Thick Style Envelope before it will be ready to sell. Please share your thoughts with me

Round and Round you go! Fantastic use of the circles, buttons and CB folder. I've never watercolored with the metallic paint pen so I gotta try that. Beautiful antique brooch and is that tulle I see underneath?
For Sale? Where and what $amt. will you sell it for? Are you on Etsy?

Love the tulle swathe with the brooch and all the buttons for the circle background! I love this dress form - Sew Special was my second ever CS set (and better still it was a prize so it was free!) - love the lace edging in that set, too!
