Going Round in Circles at Try it on Tuesday


 Our new challenge a Try it on Tuesday is Circles - of any kind.

I think I'm pushing it a bit here with this card as they are only just over half circles, but there are lots of them.  It's a Crafty Individuals stamp embossed in gold EP. I've coloured the flowers with Inktense pencils and then used some very neglected  sparkling watercolour paints over the top, trying to add a bit more depth to the colours.  I really must try those Black Edition pencils that I've read about.
The rest of the team have some great inspiration to share, so please pop over to the main blog for all the details.
Thanks for calling in, Avril x

What a fabulous design, love the circles and that gorgeous spray of flowers, so pretty against the black.
I don't think I have heard of the pencils you mentioned, must look it up, falling behind with things I think. xx

The gold embossing looks fabulous on black. And what a great image. I like how it has pretty flowers and still has a mechanical feel too. Hope life is going well. hugs-Erika

I don't think you're pushing it at all, as your background is clearly a circular diagram. I like the graphic feel, feel it gave your design too. Happy TIOT!

Oh wow ! This is one of my favourite CI stamps - what a brilliant way to use it with those gorgeous colours outlined in gold embossing! Gorgeous! Hugs, Chrisx
