Whispy Blooms (in the round)

Just what I needed to jump start my stamping today, a challenge over at SCS:
Today's Limited Supply Challenge

was to use circles in your card or project. I decided on a scalloped circle card with a matted circle focal image area. This is a belated birthday card to one of my dearest online, but not pretend, stamping friends. We met in real life a number of years ago and have kept in touch over the years.

I decided to use Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird Brunch as my card base, the colors in the paper dictated the colors of the Copic Markers I selected to color in the flower images. The flowers and sentiment are from Whispy Blooms by Our Craft Lounge. After coloring the images and daubering the edges, the flowers needed something more, so microbeads were added to the flower centers. A Not Quite Navy mat to help the image panel pop from the base and an off center olive bow complete the outside of her card. Initially I tried the bow at the hinge at the top of the card, but it felt wrong. It feels right being off center as it balances out the sentiment on the opposite side.
The bottom photo shows the coordinated inside of the card.

A leftover strip of Cosmo paper coordinates the envelope. As soon as I address it and add a few trinkets inside, this will be headed to the land of Dorothy. :)

Enjoy your weekend!
