Addicted to CAS - #14 - CIRCLES

Hello Folks - hope you are all well and looking forward to our latest challenge at Addicted to CAS.  

This week our super Hostess is the lovely Marie and the code word she's chosen is:




Our Sponsor for this challenge is -

Paper Makeup Stamps

I've made two cards for this challenge, both of which are very quick and simple cards.




For this one I have taken a snippet of patterned paper and punched various sized holes in all the flowers.  I've popped this up with d/s foam tape onto a border of matching card which has been put across the centre of a 6" square white linen card blank.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted called Happy Days.




My second card is using a 5"x7" card blank.  I punched out the button border using my EK Success punch and left a small oblong piece of card attached.  This was placed across the centre of the card and I have used 3D Crystal Lacquer on it to give some dimension.  The button was in my button box and I've added a small piece of ribbon.  The partial stamped image is Papermania Urban Stamps Vintage Notes (Doily) using Stampin Up Taken with Teal ink.  The sentiments are from the same Clearly Besotted stamp set Happy Days..  To finish off I've added some gems.


Thanks for dropping by.  Can't wait to see what you come up with for this challenge.  Don't forget to pop over to the Addicted to CAS blog to see what the DT have done to inspire you.
