Welcome my blog friends - it is good to be back here!!
The title of this post is a pun, as health-wise I still feel as though I am chasing my tail - I am on my third lot of antibiotics and am still coughing and spluttering - at least the fevers have subsided. Thank you all for your well wishes.
The cards I am showcasing today are circular, hence the title.

The bird on this card is from the Layers of Color retired set Dotted Delights, and the sentiment is also from a retired LOC set, Happy Wishes.
These were stamped using Tsukineko inks, the card base cut using the largest Lacy Circle Spellbinders die, and the background sponged before removing the die.
There were some rhinestones added on the dots on the images and under the sentiment.
I threaded some iridescent ribbon through the edge and finished it with a bow. It does not show well here as there was no sunshine when I took the photographs. When the light hits it IRL, it is really colourful as it picks up the colours near it. The back of the card is a slightly smaller circle that the outer one, and is attached with a fold at the top.
The next card is also circular
Again I have used the LOC retired Happy Wishes set for the sentiment, and the butterfly is from the retired Joyful Noise set.
This time I cut a larger circle for the back, and trimmed it around the edging and added Kindy glitz in the cut-outs. The background was sponged while the card was still in the die.
The butterfly was stamped over some card I had sponged to get the colour I wanted, and was fussy cut. I added rhinestones and kindyglitz for some more sparkle.
