Happy Birthday Circle Game



A new game is up at AAA Cards Challenge Blog. The theme is circles.

As well as the 1st place prize from our sponsor we also offer the winner the chance to be a Guest Designer for a future AAA Cards Challenge.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Jessica V. Lin of Jessie Handmade. Check out her fantastic card for this challenge HERE.

When I sat down to design a card for this challenge, and before I saw the inspiration photo above, I thought of this image from The Alley Way Stamps that I have had for a few years and never used. I pulled it out, inked it up and colored it with my Zigs. I added clear WOS to all of the water colored circles to make them sparkle and shine. I had to laugh when I looked at the inspiration photo after I had completed my circle themed card. See what I mean?? I am not sure how I feel about the polka dots in the "happy" die cut, but I went with it... more circles.


Please head over the the AAA Cards Challenge Blog, and see what my fabulous friends have created for your inspiration. Create a CAS (Clean & Simple) card using the circle theme, link up and play with us at AAA Cards! 

Just a note: All AAA Card Challenges are Clean & Simple.

I can't wait to see what you come up with!

That stamp is just amazing and I love your rainbow colours. And yes I can see how close to the graphic your card is, totally happy accident then!

Great card, Stephanie! Frankly, I struggled with multiple circles and ended up with a single circle. You followed the game rules and created a beautiful rainbow border with multiple. - Sweet Kobylkin

Stephanie this is so clever - i'd have never thought of this and you got the colors perfect. I like the polka dots just fine and the black draws out the border - very very cool. XXX
