Round and Round it Goes...

This week at For Fun Challenges, we are challenging you to create with.... CIRCLES!  Quite a challenge for me, since I don't have any punches or dies for circle cutting, and my freehand circle would look more like a blob!  So I decided to 'downsize' and use dots... after all, they are just wee circles!  I used a fab image from KPM Doodles.... I just LOVE her style and variety of images!

Ingredients: Cream, Green Cardstock; flocked dotty paper; Glitter Pens; Le Plume Pens; Green emroidery thread; Brads; Sticker Sentiment...

I coloured the image with glitter pens, and then 'roughed them up' or dulled them down, with Le Plumes over the top.  I created the matts - the green layer was sandpapered (Core'dinations cardstock) and the flocked paper has had a running stitch border added.  I fixed a brad through the sentiment sticker, and fixed it to the layers, then fixed the topper to the cardbase.  Finally, I added the image of the toadies.  

We have such a fun selection of  creations from our design team this week.... I hope you'll pop by the FOR FUN CHALLENGE BLOG to grab some inspiration and join in our CIRCLE challenge!  Thanks for peepin'!

I love your "circles"! Great idea to use the toadies with their great spots! I love all the distressing details you've added and the stitching is perfect with this!
