Really enjoyed using the “Circle Sayings Bundle”. This stamp set has not only versatile images, but some great greetings as well. Sadly, this bundle will be “retiring” at the end of this month. This particular card was not only quick but easy to create.
My color palette started with Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight and Basic White. A die from the “Stitched With Whimsy” set was used to make the stitched border on the white card stock layer. This great set of dies will also be retiring the end of April. The sun and wave image were stamped with “Memento Black” ink and then punched out with a 2″ Circle Punch. A Daffodil Delight stitched circle was cut with one of the “Stylish Shapes” Dies. These two layers were mounted with “Dimensionals” on a “Decorative Circle” punched layer in Azure Afternoon.
Two small details helped to complete this card. I placed an “Azure Afternoon Sheer Ribbon” below the “Decorative Circle” punched shape and then added a touch of “Wink of Stella” to the sun’s rays and the break on the wave. It is very difficult to capture the shimmer on this card, but it is quite pretty in real life!
Just a Note: My apologies, after composing this post, I was working on a link to the Stampin’ Up! site for this particular product. The inventory for this product bundle has already been depleted! If there are products you are interested in that will be retiring soon, please don’t wait as inventory vanishes quickly!
