Going Around in Circles!!

Welcome

I made this card specifically for Darnell's NBUS Challenge #10


(It is also her 5 year blogaversary, so she has been really celebrating this time around!)


Although the challenge is basically anything goes, there is an optional theme this time of using bubble wrap.  I used it with Espresso dye ink to make the background.


I simply added a gold embossed sentiment - no that is not my NBUS item...


I also used this stamp from a set I have had for years - it may be a NBUS item (I can't recall ever using it), but in reality, 
my NBUS item is my stitched circle die!!

I am linking this to:

Great idea with the bubbles in the background - multi circles.
What a lovely sentiment you have used on your circle and so beautifully executed in gold embossing.
Think of you often during the week.
God Bless

This is a lovely card, Maxine! I love that sediment and I think your inky bubbles made a perfect backdrop for your beautiful embossed verse inside your stitched circle!! Thanks for playing again and specifically in my optional theme!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
