LIM: Circles!

I can’t believe it’s taken all day to decide on my design for the Less is More challenge this week!!  And this isn’t how it started out! But I think it
works.

This actually started life as a New home card, my plan being to arrange the circles along the bottom of the card with a house image at the end.  However, the more I played with it the more it started to look like a…..caterpillar!  So it morphed and became the card above…well, after the third attempt!! Not gonna bore you with the detail (I screwed up the sentiment first time then made it upside down on the second attempt but don’t tell anyone!!!).

So, this is just a load of circles punched out of the spotty Brights DSP arranged and inked to make them stand out.  I used the facial features from the Make a Monster stamp set from Stampin’ up but had to draw the nose in feehand (apparently monsters  don’t have noses!!).  I then made a grassy fringe out of some stripey DSP paper and nestled the caterpillar into the grass.  Finally I added a sentiment – it was a toss up between “Get Well soon” or “Happy Birthday” but as my eldest pointed out….you get Caterpillar birthday cakes so why not a Caterpillar card.
Hope you like it .

I’m also entering this card in the following challenges:
