More Circles!

Well, as I mentioned last night, I spent the evening making this card – just one card!!! Like my card yesterday, this card also morphed several times before I was “happy” with it.  I’ll let you be the judge as to whether it works or not!

Neighborhood

I’ve used lots of my Stampin’ Up stash to make this!  Firstly I cut a circle from Marina Mist and rolled some Funky Trees across the middle in Old Olive.  I then added some DSP stripey Old Olive paper to the bottom half of the circle and matted the whole thing on to a bigger circle embossed using Perfect Polka Dots.  On a separate piece of card I rolled some houses using the jumbo Neighborhood wheel, coloured it in and cut it out.  I then 3d’d this on to the front of the circle.  I finished it with a Cherry Cobbler scalloped trim and embellished with little flowers to follow the challenge sketch over on Mojo Monday this fortnight. 

So what took me all night?  Well, I tried masking and inking the sky….didn’t like it!  I tried paper piecing the roof of the house….it looked messy!  The rolling took a while to get right….I really need to invest in the Stampin’ Up roller guide!  And finally…I was watching the Sky Premiere ‘Devil’ while doing this!!  Had to keep stopping and rewinding it to see what I had missed!! LOL!

Got there in the end though. I’m entering this in the following challenges:

Mojo Monday Challenge {Sketch}

Less is More {Circles}

Cute Card Thursday {Going Round in Circles}
