Our challenge this week for the TSC was to use black and yellow or black and orange and there had to be a large circle included. I used an image from Viva Las Vegas Stamps and Black Soot Ink with clear EP on yellow CS. Sponged black, orange and olive green to create some depth and cut it out with a large circle Nestie. Cut another, larger circle out of black and mounted the image on that. Then I mounted the Nestied panel on the same piece of yellow CS just hidding the hole I made when I cut out the first circle. Still looked plain so I drew a double row of faue stitching with a black sharpie. Came across some left over rub-on rope words and they worked for this layout. Added a black layer and then the card base is vanilla. I would have added black brads at each corner but I had already glued everything down to the card base. I guess I could just draw them on since I don't have self-adhesive brads.
