Hello I have another circle card to share with you today for yesterdays WWC, to use circles. I guess I’m in a circle mood…..or maybe I’m just going in circles….LOL!!
I love the way this card turned out!! Love the little coffee stain/spill in the coffee break circle! The circle cut-out mat I got here, this one is a kraft color but I covered it with the basic Grey porcelain paper. For some reason this paper makes me think of coffee, coffee spills and coffee stains, of course I added some of the coffee spills on the paper with an image from Rubbernecker scraps & scuffs set #461 with Ranger Distress ink in tea dye. I also enhanced the green in the porcelain paper with more distress ink in the shabby shutters color.

Here is a close up so you can see the sewing, sponging and Copic coloring, be kind about the Copic coloring I’m still learning!!

SUPPLIES:
- Paper: Prism Simply Smooth Vanilla, PTI Melon Berry, Basic Grey Porcelain
- Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa: Distress Ink; tea dye, shabby shutters
- Accessories: Chocolate Brown Candy Dots, Kraft Chipboard Circle Cut-Out Mat, White Foam Boosters, Sewing Machine, Cream colored Thread, Ink Blending Tool.
- Copics:E70, E74, E79, W1, W2, YG01, YG03, YG95, YR01, YR02, O

Happy Wacky Wednesday!! It’s that time again, for a Rubbernecker Wacky Wednesday challenge and Kittie is the Wacky Wednesday hostess for this week. She has challenged us and you to use circles any where on your card and or project. Head over to the Rubbernecker blog to check out all the details.
On my first card I feel like I cheated a little by just using half of a circle, even though there are circles in the polka dot paper. I made a half circle using some Kandi Corp. Rhinestones. I can’t take credit for this card design, I saw it some where just can’t remember where. I do know that I did change a few things…… stamp image, sentiment and I think the ribbon. The flower image was stamped twice, I cut out the whole flower and then the middle of the second flower for some depth and added some white foam boosters on the back for dimension. I colored the flower with my Copic markers.

SUPPLIES:
- Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Black, PTI Black & White Basics
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
- Accessories: RN May Arts Pink Satin Ribbon, Kandi Corp Crystal Rhinestones, White Foam Boosters
- Copics: RV10, RV11, Rv14
- Card Size: 5.50 x 4.25
Items available at Rubbernecker Stamp Co..
Here is the second card I made using a Spellbinders circle die to make a circle card. When making a circle card or any other shape card using Spellbinders dies make sure you leave a little of the top of the folded card below the cutting part of the die so the card will fold. I then make a cut out circle to place on top of the circle card, so you don’t see the flat edge(fold) at the top. Did that make sense? I used a ornare piercing template to make the dotted swirls with a pencil and then went over them with a Sakura black gelly roll glaze pen. The “celebrate” and “candle flames” are colored in with a Sakura orange stardust pen, lots of sparkle. I used a lemon atyou Spica pen for the middle of the candle flames. The candles are colored in with Koh-i-noor pencils and gamsol. I used a C1 Copic marker for the shadow under the candles and around the word celebrate.

SUPPLIES:
- Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Intense Orange
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
- Accessories: Spellbinders Circle Die, Ornare Piercing Template, Black Organdy Swirl Ribbon, Koh-i-noor Colored Pencils, Gamsol, Sakura Black Gelly Roll Glaze Pen, Sakura Orange Stardust Pen, Lemon Atyou Spica Pen.
- Copics: C1
- Card Size: 3.75 x 3.75 Circle
