Circles

 Its the weekend .. .and 3 parties today so busy, busy, busy! Hopefully after all that excitement the girls will sleep tonight!!
 I've sneaked up into my craftroom in between washing and ironing to make a card.   I went for something a bit different for me ... the polka dot circles are created using the inverted polka dots from the Of Beat psatterns set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps.  I cut and layered them using my nesties.  I cut the off square again with my nesties.  I stamped this Hero Arts collage stamp onto the card blank and then placed thae cardstock over the top.  Finally I added some polka dot ribbon and tied a knot.

 Challenges:
Less is More - polka dots
Scrapbook Sisters - Circles
Waltzing mouse sketch challenge - sketch

Hi Cathy! I really like the soothing colors and the mix of patterns on this sketch card! So glad that you could play along this week!

Cathy your post really made me laugh, I love the way you say you popped off to make a card between jobs....It takes me 3hrs to decide which papers to use and then I come up with which embellies...lol If I make a card in a night I think I have cracked it :O
Your card is lovely and I love your choice of colour. xx
