Christmas Split Circle


 I made this card some time ago and decided it's time to share it. I cut 3 different sized circles with dies using Christmas designer paper, and split them and formed them into a circle. I used a pre-printed SSS sentiment, and added one large clear gemstone before placing it on a panel that was embossed with a SU! Snowburst EF (retired).

Sharing with these challenges:




Can you Handle the Pressure? - A/G using an embossing folder

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you're having a great weekend!

Hi Carol, this is a very elegant and clean card for Christmas! I have seen others similar made by you, I find this way to use circles is very clever and every time I promise myself to give a try! :) Who knows when I will do one. LOL Love the palette and the very tactile embossing on the background! And your attention to the details is always special, how beautiful touch is that big clear gem!!
I wish you a lovely Sunday, dear friend! I always think to you and send you my good wishes, prayers and love. Big HUGS!

This is lovely! I had to look again after reading your post and then I realized what you meant when you wrote that you "split the circles"!
Great card...
