The mix challenge is to take a shape and repeat it over and over but different. I decided to use a circle for my shape. I started with a round shaped card. I used ADORNit dp that has dime sized circles. The gears are circles. as are the sequins. I also stamped itty bitty background stamp in teal ink and in copper inka gold.
This card has a lot of meaning to me. The sentiment- LOVE makes the world go 'round- is the theme of my card. It represents "love" for several of my stampin' friends. The chipboard letters are from my friend Paula. The sentiment stamp and the sequins are from my friend Jennifer. The gear die cut was a gift from my friend Angela. The copper inka gold that I rubbed on the gears and the letters and also stamped on the circle was a gift from my friend Pam. The little hearts were punched from an envelope that my friend Debra sent me. (My friend Debra has given me lots of stampin' goodies, but they didn't fit the design, but I still wanted to include something from her. The dp from ADORNit, was through a connection my friend Terri made last year at CHA, so indirectly it is from her. So I fully believe this sentiment. I am so thankful for the love of my friends.

This is so pretty. I love your sewing on the edge and how you repeated the circles. The gears just bring it a masculine touch along with all the pretties it is well balanced. Great card.
