The theme for the Allsorts challenge this time has been chosen by Ellie and it is **Blooms and/or Bees** with of course the *anything goes* option. Prize this time is from Buddly Crafts and you can see more details on the Allsorts post..
I was reminded recently of an idea using circles so decided to re-visit the technique for my card this time. I'm not sure if it has an actual title but I think of it as 'swirly circles'. Circles in three colours and of different sizes are required and they are cut in half and laid out to form this design. I then die cut and coloured some flowers and a couple of bees, adding a sentiment and that's my card finished.
Flowers and Bees - die sets from Craft Addiction UK
Circles - cut from some pieces of long retired Stampin Up design papers
Such an effective design Val, never seen circle dies used like this before but looks good.

ReplyDeleteIt's a great use of the circle design. I never did get around to making a card using this when it was all the rage a while ago. The addition of the flowers and bees make for a pretty card.
