I've been wanting to make a circle card for some time now, and this was the perfect sketch to use! (Ok, so this is an oval...still!) I used the Creative Memories oval cutting system to cut two ovals from Stampin' Up black cardstock. I joined them at the top with a "hinge" so the card would open properly, but still be a nice oval shape.
I used some of my NEW Basic Grey Eerie paper for the card front. This is so cute...spiders and all. I put some Stickles on the spiders, just to fancy them up! In the photo above, the card is open, but the weight of the flowers and the wood word are making it cant to one side...so here's another shot.
I used flowers in place of the circles on the sketch. The wood word is from Lil Davis - I found it in a bargain bin at the 2008 Scrapbook Expo.
The greeting stamp is a wood mount Studio g stamp that I found in my stash. It sure stamps a nice, crisp image!
So that's my card for today! Tune in tomorrow for my Monday challenge - it's an easy one for a change!

ReplyDeleteGloria, love this card you totally rocked today's challenge. We must have been on the same train of thought as we both used the same papers by basicgrey.
ReplyDeleteI don't go to scrapfest anymore used to go all the time, but same stuff each year and you stand in lines for hours to make something you really don't need.
This is stunning Gloria. I love it!! I really love those BG Eerie papers too. I love everything about your card today lol.
