Happy Circle Friday!

Yup today is the day we all reveal the results of that controversial circle card...so, do ya love 'em, or hate 'em? I kinda love 'em! Actually I like all cards done up in anything but squares and rectangles and makes me ALMOST want to get me a grand calibur so I can get me some of those MEGA huge dies and make intricate shaped cards.

But dreaming aside, I still have circle cards to make me happy. This is Stamping Bella's Petunia Pixie and I'll give you a tip right now....avoid the temptation of colouring the outermost branches in a darker colour...your nest will look much better if you keep those branches light, and darken the deeper portions behind them.

My nest got a little darker than I intended, but a little bird told me that Paulabella coloured up the same image so you just may wanna go check out her nest! I'm pretty sure it is BRILLIANT!

As always, I used bella's BESTEST paper and although I didn't make not of all the markers I used, I do recall they were in the E40 thru 44 series for the nest and likely E30 thru 35 for the hair, and my usual E0000, 000, 00, 11, R20 for the face.

Paper is memory box, I LOVE their petite patterns, and I used my creative memories circle cutters to cut 5 1/2 inch circles for base of the card. All other circles were cut with spellbinders.

Next week our challenge is a sketch. YAY! And a wonderful sketch it is by our resident video babe Ebru. LOVE this sketch!!!!

Hope you find time to play along. Just pick a bella image, the sketch is at your fingertips and email your post to Emily by next Thursday.

I'll be back tomorrow. Linda.
