This is my first attempt at using Circle Circus since receiving it at Convention.  We made some gorgeous make and takes with this and I am hoping it will be a good one for masculine cards too, I just need to find the time to play with it a little more.

In real life this card is crisp and bright but it hasn’t photographed particularly well here for some reason.  This card was inspired by AngeD. I love the idea of spotlighting certain aspects of images by punching them out and this is what I’ve done here.

Thanks for looking.  I have my two boys home today after dental surgery yesterday so I’d best get back to my fetching and serving (ooops I mean nursing).  It’s certainly not a nice feeling watching your babes drift off to sleep in an operating theatre but I am truly grateful it was only dentistry work and not something more concerning.  Sam came out bouncing with energy and Matt was sick from the anaesthetic and is still a bit green today.  I have to say though that I am quite enjoying the lazy day with them – we are all still in our pj’s!

Happy stamping!
