Challenge Card - Circle Card

Okay, so it's been a while since I last posted, but I have been making several ordered cards and it has taken up a lot of my time.

Anyway, I had a look at some of the challenges in The Outlawz and decided I would have a go at the Twisted Thursday Challenge. 

I recently purchased some dies from Tonic Studios, and one in particular sprung to mind when I saw the circle challenge.  The die has Christmas Leaves around it.

I cut out the larges and the smallest circle in pale blue glitter card, then I cut out the middle size in white card.  I used a Memory Box leave die to cut out the leaves.  I used a spellbinders die and cut out 3 sizes of Poinsettia in parchment paper.  I embossed the back of the parchment to make the white shine through and used some shades of blue pro markers to colour in the petals - not sure this shows up very well in the picture.

I layered up the largest and middle sizes of circle and stamped a Christmas Sentiment for the middle.  I then made up my Poinsettia and glued it in the centre of the smallest circle and added some seed beads in the middle.  I placed the smallest circle to the side of the largest circle. To finish off I added the leaves and a bow down the side.

I liked the look of the finished card.

This was entered into the following challenges:-
