I got around to making a round card! I've got to be one of the last person who hangs around the blogosphere to have made one. Why? I dunno. It was kind of fun.It was this great card on my friend Sharli's Sharli's Place blog that inspired me to try my hand at a round card. Isn't her red, white, and blue card fun? My color scheme was determined by the right-size piece of Blush cardstock laying on my desk last night.
With regard to my design, there isn't a lot to say. I inked my stamp with markers. The sentiment stamp is from a set aptly named "Flexible Friendship Wishes." The dotted vellum I used for the butterflies is from a book of Paper Pizazz patterned vellum that I received as a gift and have been hoarding for years. I did learn something with this one. Had I lined up the scallops right, the card would have stood up straight so I could photographed it that way. As it was, I had to lay it flat. Next time ...
Materials & Tools: White Daisy and Blush cardstock; Garden Green ink pad; Garden Green and Blush markers; Stampin' Up Essence of Love and Stampendous Flexible Friendship Wishes stamp sets; May Arts ribbon; Kaiser Krafts pearl accents; Cuttlebug w/Nestabilities Classic Circles set.
Happy Hump Day! This week is flying right by. While I got some stuff done last night, I didn't knock off everything on my list, so I'm back at it tonight. Tomorrow night, we're going to have overnight guests ... our two favorite little people! Hurray!! With that, I'm going to go see what I can get done. I hope you're having a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by. Later ...

Wowzer Kathi, when you make a round card you MAKE a round card!!! This is absolutely gorgeous. Every single thing about it. From the colors to the vellum wings of the butterflies to the stamp itself. WOW.
Gorgeous card! I forget about curving the acrylic stamps to fit the shapes - nice touch!!!
