Handmade cards using circles

Today's Sketch For this bird card, I stamped body in sky and wing in lagoon then sponged both using lagoon, popped her up. Die-cut 2 circles sponging them and adhering with foam tape. Added the white ferns and stamped leaves to mama's nest. I used 2 different texture plates, which create softer embossed images for the bg then added some pearls. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Hello and welcome! The card I have for you today is for two challenges: I chose the middle horizontal row of the grid - splatters, any sentiment, circle - and as luck would have it, items from my favourite-of-the-moment Curators Meadow collection use exactly the right colours of turquoise, yellow, brown and green. Here's my card: I added touches of the challenge colours on my background too but muted them with gesso to allow the circles to stand out. Materials used: stamps - Create Happiness…
