Sketches {by Tamara} #41

Here's my card for this week's sketch from Sketches {by Tamara}. The design called for a round card, so I pulled out my high-tech (LOL!) and handy collection of plastic lids to create the card base and the two round mats.

I used a large Nestabilities scalloped circle die to create the polka dotted paper layer. I used the same die to cut the edges of the solid paper strip for the center panel of the card. I just set the strip of paper on the die so that it ran from edge to edge. Saved me a lot of trimming!

The sentiment is from SU!'s Full of Life stamp set. I love this versatile collection of sentiments. They're perfect for either the inside or the outside of cards. The sentiment's surrounded by some shimmery flower confetti pieces and a few purple-ish acrylic dome embellishments.
