LSC221 Thinking Circles- Inspired by Nature

Happy Memorial Day! I want to first thank all the servicemen and families of servicemen that have given up their time to give me and the rest of the U.S. freedom and safety. Without your dedication, the U.S. and its freedoms would not be the same today! I hope everyone is enjoying a blessed, fun and safe weekend!

Today I thought I would share a card with you that I made for Friday's Limited Supply Challenge on Friday, LSC221, Thinking Circles. I also incorporated WT219, Stamp It Again, CAS15 to use black, white and one bold bright (my bold bright is yoyo yellow), and the challenge from the Mothers and Daughters Creations Blog to pop it up (I popped up my one flower that was yoyo yellow. To keep with the circle theme, I made a circular card and used my peony die to frame my image. I thought it would be fun to use my Inspired By Nature set which I just received. The sentiment was inked up with yoyo yellow and black . I used my tags trio die from Spellbinders.

Card Recipe

Stamps: Inspired by Nature

Paper: Black and White CS

Accessories: Spellbinder tags trio and peony dies, Circle cutter, SU Scalloped border punch, Swiss dots folder

I am not normally very good at CAS cards but I think I did it with this one. What do you think? Thanks for taking the time to stop by! I so appreciate your visits and comments. I hope to stamp and blog hop today after I finish some of my yardwork. Only 5 yards of mulch to go. Enjoy your day!
