I love this color combo, but for some reason putting a circle into the equation really threw me for a loop this time! My card idea came quickly, but trying to incorporate more circles into it had me throwing away quite a few trees into the circular file! Maybe I'd better show you the card so you know what I'm talking about....take a look:
My first idea was to sponge the aqua color for the sky and using a circle mask for the moon (I was trying to create early morning before the sun comes up). Then I made my snow banks and trees, and that's where my struggles started! I tried embossing my trees with a large dotted embossing folder, but they just looked strange! So then I thought maybe I needed to add a few circular ornaments...tried red sequins, and a couple different small stamped ornaments...but they all ended up taking away from the peaceful scene I was trying to create. So I guess I'm just going to leave it as a CAS card and say it is what it is! :0) (trees, birds, and sentiment are all PTI)
Thanks for stopping by today and make sure you check out all the other great cards here. Have a great Thursday and I'll be back tomorrow with a special birthday surprise for my cousin Sue's 60th! (it's coming whether you want it to or not Sue!!)
