Spots & Stripes

When I saw this sketch at Feeling Sketchy I thought it would be ideal for a new stamp I bought last week



It's Fiskars Circles of Fun which is meant to be used with their continuous Stamping system but I've used them before on an acrylic block. However, when I stamped this one the circles are more ovals. It could be that the stamping wheel it is supposed to be used with stretches the design so they would be circles but hey ho, I'm not going to buy it just to check.

Anyway, I've stamped it onto pink card with Versamark and used some turquoise embossing powder. The striped backing paper is from the Papermania pastel Capsule Collection pack so I'm entering this into the Docarfts Spots & Stripes challenge. The three buttons are from the brights Capsule Collection but they go well with the embossing powder and the backing card. These were part of a prize from a previous Docrafts challenge. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Itty Bitty Banners set and cut with the matching die

  4. Lovely card, and thanks for the tip about using the Fiskars w/o the wheel. I don't own any of these stamps because of the wheel thing. Might rethink after reading this. Loved your circles with those stripes, and this was a great color combo too. I can see this card being used for many occasions. Really great embossing effect. TFS & see ya in the Playground.
