Hello again, I've got circles on the brain, just a few more for LIM.I should really be getting on with other stuff but as I said, circles on the brain......................
Bathing Beauties
Coloured with Copics
I've loved this set and used so many of them. Circles are a favourite of mine I've always liked circular things in design they appeal to me, haven't a clue why?
On this next card I used several Nestie's as templates and inked through them stamping the butterfly over the top.
This next card I made with Andy Skinner's stamps another set recently purchased and used so many times, I just love it.
The circles were embossed then I stamped the sentiment stamp onto red card, punched out the circles and placed them at different hieghts, you can see the embossing better if you click and enlarge the photo.
Thank you for your visit, please come back again :0)

OMG OMG!! these are so so fabulous!! I love them..especially the coloring on the first, the butterflies on the 2nd and the brilliant design on the 3rd...
If this is what you do when had to do something else, I just wonder what you'd come up with if you really had to make cards???
OMG Gay you must be dizzy! These are stunning and my favourite is the 2nd one with the butterflies, love the vintage feel. Have to say I love the 1st one as well and can you send me some inspiration please:))

these are gorgeous, especially the one with the butterflies
Marijke
Whoa Gay! You really went circles! :) FAB cards all of them!
Did you emboss the last card one by one??? *sigh*
Great seagull placement for the 'fun in the sun' that is a really fabulous diving stamp, I thought at first she was surfing! Must admit that the Butterflies are my favourite.
Brilliant cards Gay - you always seem to find THE most unusual and fabulous stamps (I would love to go craft shopping with you)!! Love them all, but my favourite is the Fun in the Sun card - the bathing beauties are gorgeous, but the placement of the seagull is perfection.
Hugs, Sylvia xx

Three fabulous cards, Gay! I love them all for different reasons, but I think my favorite is the last one. Super simple and striking.
Wow Gay, you certainly have got circles on the brain! Three cards in a row - go girl! They are all gorgeous and I could not possibly pick a favourite. Lynn x
These are all gorgeous Gay but the bathing beauties are my faves. I think it's the unexpected colours. That and the seagull! Vx

Wow, fabulous cards! Love them all, but I really like the inked circles and butterflies one, it's a technique I have yet to master!
Again more lovely cards! My favorit is the one with the butterflies. Love the colours and how you blended colours :)

Such a feast for our eyes Gay, I love all three and they are so different. You're such a versatile crafter :)
I've never thought about my favourite shape but I suppose I'm drawn to circles too :)

Hi Gay
Thank you for the tip on the no more shims thingy - I have got one - but thanks so much for letting me know about it anyway. The stencil I was using was so thin I needed paper shims as well (although I didn't make that clear in my post).
Take care and thanks again.
Speak soon

All your cards are so perfectly stamped and beautifully coloured, Gay. I really love the butterfly one, such a fab effect!
You've done it again! LOVE all three cards, although if pushed to make a choice, I believe the last one is slightly ahead of the other two. LOVE the design and the look of that third card!! My card
What a stunning set of circles! Like the idea of using Nesties as templates and the butterflies, but those bathing beauties look great, especially with the seagull at the top, nice touch

You've certainly gone dotty with all these circles, Gay. They are all wonderful but I love the butterflies in the middle. Inking in the nesties is a great idea, I shall definitely be giving that a go, it's so effective.
