Another challenge Card: Big Pieces of Thanks

Is everyone like me way behind on everything they like to do because the Holidays happened, and, in need of Thank You's for the same reason?I have been playing double duty all week trying to get things neat around my home and caught up in my craft space. This Thank You card was inspired by the SC155 challenge posted a few weeks ago on Splitcoast. I love the sketch challenges when I am not ver y inspired becasue very often they get my juices flowing and I can work with it. This is a challenge that I found quite difficult despite my love for circles.



I resorted to Big Pieces becasue of its Circular shape. I stamped 3 in versa mark and embossed them with Kaliedescope for the shimmer and 2 in Bordering Blue.

I sponged to get the emboss resist effect around the Embossed Circles...I was worried that the roughness of kaliedescope would not work well, but it did so I was very happy...I dug out my Small pieces and stamped it and matted it SU Basic Gray. The matting was punched with a 3/4 Ek punch and the stamped image was punched with EK 1/2". I mounted on a dimensional, and added a little 2mm Clear Hero Arts Gemstone to the center. I used SU Think Happy Thoughts in Basic Gray also to accent the circle I punched at 1/4" to pop the ribbon through. I cut two pieces of ribbon and attached them1/2" apart to the back of the Basic Gray matting that had been embossed with Bloom Dots in my Cuttlebug.

I matted this piece with a thin border of Bordering Blue, and then with dimensionals on GP white which was also used as the card base. I finished this card earlier but forgot the little panel down lower, so I added the second sentiment from Cute Converse. I cut the layered ovals with my QuiKuts Dies in my Cuttlebug...so happy to not have to squeeze anymore! I used dark teal rivets from I cant remember where but probably MM, to attach the pieces together and then mounted it on dimesionals. I wished I had brads to do this because I ended up slightly off when I made the hole bigger for the rivets. I think it turned out nice and I hope you like it too.

Until Later ....Happy Stamping!
