Lovely Circles

For today's cards I am combining two fabulous challenges.  Tuesday Morning Sketches #221 & ColourQ #211

 



These colors really seemed to work for me, even though the cards don't have any Halloween images.  I love the way the sketch and color inspiration photo incorporate circles.  For this card set, I used the various sentiments in the Lacy and Lovely stamp set.  I stamped the various circle images in each color and layered them over the corresponding cardstock.  The card base is Smoky Slate.

I was looking online for a little card inspiration and I found the following two sketches.  The first is from Tuesday Morning Sketches and the second is from Inkspirational:

 

 

I didn't really follow either sketch exactly.  I turned the card vertically.  The strips on my card are various sizes (on purpose - although I do have those days where nothing seems to cut right) in a black and vanilla palette.  The image is stamped on an oval and then colored with Stampin' Up Blender Pens.  Someday I will own the markers, but I love the blender pens because you can use them to create any color.

 

 

Hope you like my card.  Thanks for visiting.
