Borders and Corners Circle #2

I purposely made this card very simple -- few layers and embellishments. It is going to my FIL, who is currently undergoing treatment for a pulmonary embolism. Supplies Used: Stampin Up Cool Carribean and Close to Cocoa cardstocks; Basic Grey Blush 6x6 paper; PapertreyInk Borders and Corners Circle set; brad from Prima Accents (purchased from Paperosity); SU Close to Cocoa Classic and Craft inks -- to get good coverage on the circle sentiment I stamped a bit with the Craft and then continued with Classic); Marvy Uchida circle punches and extra jumbo scallop punch. The extra jumbo size (1.5") scallop punch is so cute, and so much easier to use on a small card than the mega and giga sizes. It is also a pretty yellow. *************** I'm still cleaning my stamp room, but I have made enormous progress. My goal is to clean up after I make each card (as Mary from It's All About the Journey does!!). So obvious, yet so difficult to follow through.

  2. Joan, I stumbled accross your blog today and I just had to tell you how much it tickled me to see you as excited as I am about the Borders & Corners sets. Your projects thus far using the sets are AMAZING and really embrace all the characteristics I hoped they would have when put to use by stampers! Bravo! I will be sure to peek in again soon!

    I also have to tell you how much I love your banter. Your personality really shines through in your writing and is a pleasure to read. I would be thrilled to meet you in person one day! Are you coming through Tennessee any time soon? *wink*

  5. Has it been this long since I was here? I've been so busy with all the hooplah at SCS. I hope your FIL is okay. I love the colors and design of this card--all the circles and the one main image circle. So simple yet so effective.
