Friday Fun Challenge #43

After taking last week off while some of the Friday Fun Girls were at CHA we are back this week and welcoming back Sara to our ranks. Sara had back surgery and has not been in her craft room lately, but she is coming back and we are glad to have her with us and she even gets to be the Friday Fun Hostess this month.

This week our challenge is to BLING IT UP!

I just saw the tutorial for Shadow Box cards a few weeks ago and decided to play around with one. As I was making it and had the inside of the window already cut out, I decided I could just as easily make it a pocket card as well, otherwise where would you sign it?

So where do I start explaining this one? I cut the window/insert with my Cricut. I stamped the Circle Circus images and punched the larges circles with the scallop punch and used my paper snips to cut the rest of the pieces. I need more small circle punches. I used the Copic airbrush and Y19 to add some more color to the images, and then sponged Rich Razzelberry around the edges. I also used my Copics to color some white grosgrain ribbon before tying it onto the pull out tag.

I added more accents with the white flurishes from the Priceless set and used my rhinestone brads to add the final details in the center of the circles and layering it all with dimensionals.

Spot the Dots

I was able to sneak down to the craft room a little bit this week to make the Sketch Challenge on SCS (SC235). When I first saw the sketch I wasn't wowed, we have seen this before, circles on a grid, nothing new and exciting. Then on Wednesday night I decided that I had to try a few things with Circle Circus, and the next thing you know I was doing the sketch. I really didn't mean to do it, I swear!

I have decided that I either need more circle punches or a set of circle Nestabilities to really work with this set. I used my paper snips way too much on this card and I am not that handy with scissors.
