This week the Sunday Stampers Challenge over at the lovely (television star) Hels Sheridan's place http://pinkleart.blogspot.com/ is Circles. Unfortunately I spent a couple of hours this morning doing a round easel card and then I went a ruined it at the last hurdle - still, as they say, it is only a few pieces of card and some ink.......
However, I don't like to be defeated and I had the remains of some Wendy Vecchi Art Parts on my desk and they are both round so I made a vase. I cut out some flowers from TH's tattered florals die, stamped them with my Hero Arts newsprint stamp, inked the edges and put them together with some round pearl brads (more circles?) and mounted them onto kebab sticks which I stained with Distress stain. The flowers are kind of roundy shaped.........I then added a sun charm on a TH pin, added some leaves (Spellbinder die) and a little butterfly. I hope I have put enough circle shapes on to qualify!
If you visit please do leave me a comment, I love to read them and will always try to return the compliment, although I am not on Facebook or Pinterest. Thanks for looking. Crafty hugs, Anne x

Hi Lynn, it is just kebab sticks, I filled the 'vase' with silicone glue and stuck them in. No, it's just for the challenge, not any other specific reason. It will just get put away with my many others! A x
