The ice cream colours at this week's Less is More challenge are absolutely mouthwatering aren't they?! I decided not to go down the ice cream route though - it is still winter after all, even if it has warmed up a bit in Buckingham today. Instead, I brought out my circle punches, inspired by CASology's Circle cue word.
Come and see what I came up with - and if you look carefully you might see some doughnut shapes in my card too!
Designer paper and a circle punch are excellent companions and the gorgeous new Tea For Two papers come in just the right colours for today's LiM challenge!
I layered my circles up, including some stamped images and some plain card stock and added a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Some of the images are popped up with dimensionals and I mixed in a beautiful designer builder brad from the spring/summer catalogue (By the way, if you'd like to browse through a paper version of this catalogue just let me know and I'll post one to your UK address free of charge.)
Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Papaya Collage (the rose!), Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie
Card stock: Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, So Saffron
Punches: 1/3/4", 1", 3/4", 1/2" circle punches, Itty Bitty punch pack
Other: Designer Builder Brads, Tea for Two designer paper, stamp-a-majig

Once, on a trip to Birmingham, we visited Krispy Kreme in Selfridges (I know, we're a very cultured lot!) The children were wide-eyed at the doughnuts being made and sent off via conveyer belt, enjoyed choosing some of them and tucked in enthusiastically. I remember my husband teasing the boys: "Krispy Kreme, 15 varieties - plus you two makes 17!"
Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I'll be back on Monday so I'll hope to see you then.
Beautiful card Vicky- love this!
