It's another designer take-over at TGIF Challenges this week. These are really fun! This week's challenge by Stampin' Up! Artisan Team and TGIF Challenges design team member Tammy Wilson was especially fun for me. The challenge is "Going in Circles". Fun because I rarely do cards with a multitude of circles.
The first thing I thought of when I saw the challenge was plaids and the Merry Moose stamp set (#150494). That's what I did:
For the background, I did two layers of Mint Macaron watercolor wash over two separate pieces of Shimmery White card stock. One piece I die cut in circles using the smallest circle die in the Stitched Shapes dies (#152323). I adhered those circles randomly over the second piece and then embossed the whole using the Subtle 3D embossing folder (#151775).
The three patterned circles were die cut using the three smallest circles in the Stitched Shapes dies and patterns from the 'Tis The Season designer series paper pack (#153489). The moose was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto the same Real Red pattern as the second largest circle, then punched out using the Moose Punch (#150652).
The greeting from Wrapped in Christmas stamp set (#153481) was stamped in Shaded Spruce onto Shimmery White card stock and die cut using the Stitched Rectangles dies (#151820). A few Wonderful Gems (#153536), a layer of Shaded Spruce card stock and a Whisper White Thick card base complete the card.
You can tell the design team and challengers were really inspired by this challenge. Check out all of the entries over at the TGIF Challenges Blog here.
Really beautiful card!!! Love the subtle circles in the background. Great composition and design.
