Another Challenge card - Circles

 

Good Morning Ladies, 

We had sunshine yesterday which was a welcome change to the constant rain of the last few days. 

The for sale sign went up on Mum's house yesterday and within an hour we got a viewing booked.  Fingers crossed it isn't someone just wanting to be nosey, Mum was very private you see, visitors never got further than a cuppa at the kitchen table.  In fact back when we were young we never went into the lounge until after tea, it was like it was 'the best' room.  My Nana was the same, we never got to sit in her lounge or 'front room' as she called it. We always played in the kitchen/dining room.   I think things were looked after better or valued more back then, my Nana had the same fridge (that was huge), top loading washing machine with a mangle on top and little gas cooker that had this little pen type thing that sat in a holder on side of the cooker, you used it to light the rings, when she went into a care home, they had lasted her whole married life.  Things just don't last like that these days!! 

This was a similar style to my Nana's, if it was chilly she would put oven on low and sit with her feet in the oven! 

Back to present day....on to today's card...

I die cut a circle card base and matted and layered with Cherry Cobbler card, I used the free stamps featured in the Creative Stamping Magazine that I shared on the weekend.  

The stamps are Christmas Roses, I stamped them into a wreath and added the Holly leaves in between,  I used my Polychromos to colour everything,  I coloured and fussy cut some smaller Christmas Roses to pop on top of the Holly leaves to give some dimension.  I used some Old Olive ribbon across the circle and finished with bow. 

I stamped the 'Seasons Greetings' sentiment onto the centre circle and raised it up on foam pads so that it stood out from the background.  I finished the centres of each rose with a tiny gemstone.           I chose to use Cirles for this challenge card.  

I hope that you all have a lovely day, 

Love and hugs to all of you, 

Sandra
