Round I go again, more Less is More, :0)

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???

    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

    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

    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.
