She grabbed the hands across from her and gripped them tight. They both gave full trust in each other and closed their eyes as they started to move around and around. Slowly at first, then quicker...then fast, faster! "Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down!"
Hmm, I remember one time someone telling me the meaning behind this nursery rhyme, perhaps I subconsciously made it a get welI card! I combined two challenges for the basis of my card. The soft color palette comes from the beautiful inspiration picture at Off the Wall Craftiness and the CAS layout from Artful Delight's Challenge (ASC 2). I love the versatile round designs from Schlosser Design's new stamp set, Circle-A-Thon.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (Vintage Cream) PTI, (White) Georgia Pacific
Stamps: (Circle-A-Thon) Schlosser Designs, (sentiment from Teeny Trees) Waltzingmouse Stamps
Ink: (Pretty in Pink Pigment) Stampin' Up!, (Vintage Photo and Antique Linen Distress) Ranger, (Watermark) Versamark
Embellishments: (Rustic Twine) PTI, (Rhinestones) Michaels
Other: (Honey Dew and Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist) Tattered Angels, (Clear Embossing Powder) Stampin' Up

Oooh, so soft and pretty! Love the repetition of the circles!
ReplyDeleteReally love the soft colors on this shabby chic card....Love the stamp! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the "weathered" look you've been giving at lot of your work lately. It hits on the vintage look that's so hot these days yet stays true to the ever-appealing CAS style.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of CAS, is CAS-tastic ever going to resurface? If it doesn't maybe you could start hosting a CAS based challenge? {Like you need one more thing on your over-flowing plate.} I could help you with behind the scenes business so it wouldn't have to be overwhelming. Once or twice a month? What do you think? You know we could easily find sponsors---you're a big name, lady. :)
i just love how you subtly use the shades and colours creating contour and different and texture. So lovely!!
