Saturday challenges

I had a day crafting yesterday as Dave took the girls to Blackpool to allow me time to get ahead with my Design Team cards ... and I sneaked in a challenge card LOL!! I combined the Sketch Saturday sketch (but amended it a bit to fit a circle shape), Creative Crew's Round and round challenge, PBSC Anything Goes and Secret Crafter challenge, a Shape Card. The Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge are also doing a DT call, and having participated so much and been lucky enough to win one of their prizes, I would love to be considered.
I made my card base using my nesties, I placed the circle so the fold was just inside the die. The card base is pearlised card which I have inked in silver. I used my nesties to cut out the various cricles, and my SU scallop punch to do the scalloped edges. the image is watercoloured and them I added stickles to it for a bit of sparkle. I stamped the sentiment onto pearlised card and cut it out using my nesties (where would I be without them LOL!). I used thin black velvet ribbon and the trim is a bit of glittered beaded paper from the same stack.

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Cat on the Moon (Penny Black); Penny Black Party Critters sentiment
Colouring Media: Distress inks
Papers: DCWV glitter stack, cardstock
Embellishments: velvet ribbon from stash
