CAS Colours and Sketches #415

 

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It's time once again for another weekly challenge over at the CAS Colours and Sketches blog and Wei has a fun sketch that she'd like for us all to try.

Because I didn't want any of this fabulous text background to go to waste, I created two cards this week.  Here's my first. 

And my bonus card.  

I dove into my scrap drawer and chose a bright pink and a deep teal cardstock to create the circles but I wanted something bold to set them off.  The plain black cardstock was ok but I decided to jazz it up a bit with a pattern.  I stamped the text background onto the black cardstock and heat embossed it in white and was much happier with this look.  The die I chose for the largest circle is actually a ring for a snow globe, meaning it cuts the outer ring leaving a large inner circle.  I used the leftover circle on my first card and the ring on my bonus card so in actuality the circles are inlaid within each other, not stacked.  I cut the smaller circles using assorted dies from my stash.  The sentiments are actually from a set of premade sheets.  I cut them out using a narrow die and then edged the exposed white core with a black marker.  I showed restraint by adding bling only to card #2.  :-)

I hope you'll stop by our blog.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery!
