My Friend
We have a very special challenge this week on Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. You see many of us are going to convention so we will be gone most of next week so we are doing two…two…two challenges in one!

So…what’s so special about the challenge…well we have a color challenge AND a sketch challenge AND it last for TWO WEEKS! You can do use the color, or you can do just the sketch or you can do what I did and do them both together. AND…just when you think I am out of ANDS…you can make the square card a circle card…so I put those all together for my card this challenge!
So the base of my card is the large scallop circle in So Saffron. I put a full scallop circle on top of my folder scallop circle base to make it a full circle. Next I took a Whisper White circle, masked the bottom portion, brayered So Saffron over the top portion and then sponged the Pumpkin Pie on top. I stamped the silhouette image using Basic Grey. I stamped the greeting along the bottom in Basic Grey. This is layered onto a Basic Grey circle, I added the Pumpkin Pie 1/8” taffeta ribbon on there and a little bow, and three silver brads. This is added to the scallop circle card base using dimensionals.
I really do like circle cards…just don’t see to make them very often! So check out what the AMAZING design team did and remember…you have TWO WEEKS to join us! How fun is that!
Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!

Gorgeous card Mary! We certainly were on the same wavelength with this one weren’t we? Love your use of the silhouette image and the circle card is so pretty!

The pumpkin pie really pops on your background. Great use of the brayer!

Mary, this is so very pretty. The sponging effect is perfect for this shadow type image. Beautiful!

I love the sponging on this! Makes it look like the sun is setting behind it. Lovely!
