Here's some more circles for Sabrina's challenge. We have a knitting "circle" and last night my mom's friend wasn't feeling well enough to come. Her lung cancer is back and her treatments are talking a lot out of her. So I had to make her this "Get Wool Soon" card to let her know we were missing her at knitting.
I printed out the digi and die cut a stitched circle, then I cut two more circles from some paper embossed with my cable knit EF. Then I went looking for DP with circles for my background. Buttons! Perfect. Finished off with some faux stitched circles drawn in black gel pen that are really tough to see. I think I should have used white.
Thanks to Anne for pointing out that this card fits into CCEE1802 celebrating Hot Tea Month--yes, please! I will celebrate Hot Tea Month all year long.

I love that Power Poppy digi and your button paper for the bg just looks great with it. Great job on the coloring.

From one knitter to another, this is one fantastic card, and how thoughtful you are to make this card for poor dear who was not feeling well enough to come last night. There is true power in a card like this. I really love your faux stitched circles in black (I spotted them right off). This one of the best knitting images I have ever seen and you have colored this so beautifully. I love the cable textured circles you added too. This is going right into my favs! ~Karen.

I love all the circles........if that's tea in the cup, it's just right for the CCEE1802 challenge today, TEA. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend and knitter. This should give her a smile, Jen.
