I don't know what this design is called but I enjoy making cards like this. I found an old retired SU! paper pad with green and blue colors so I die-cut 3 circles in different sizes, cut them in half, and placed them in a circle pattern with a sentiment strip across the front. The embossing folder is an older retired one from SU. The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy.
Here's a slightly different card with the same papers and colors, but made with a Darice embossing folder. I added 3 tiny blue and green gemstones on both cards for the finishing touch.
I'll share the first card with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is "Happy Birthday."
Thanks for stopping by on this Wednesday and I wish you all a happy and crafty day!

Hi Carol! It kind of reminds me of a yin yang design. Love the embossing folder!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and eye-catching design here Carol! The blue and green colors are very pretty, and you've found some wonderful coordinating papers for it! Love the added texture in your background too! Have a great day! Winter came back this morning as it's snowing here! blah!
ReplyDeleteAfraid I don't know what this technique is called either but I do like it a lot. So very attractive and a good way of using smaller pieces of DSP. Looks particularly good against the embossed backgrounds too and would do for any number of occasions with different sentiments.
ReplyDeleteAlways love seeing this type of cards and always think I have to make one! But never do... Your choice of papers is just wonderful and great idea adding a texture to the background with an EF! Both them came out so pretty and eye-catching. Love the strips with the sentiment, it has a so lovely font!!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs and love, dear Carol! Have a wonderful day!
I completely concur with all that Aquarius says above!!! Great cards. Xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat cards,love the p,papers and the design reminds me of the ying yang design too.

I love these, Carol!!! I keep saying I am going to make some cards like this and I never do! So simple and very eye catching! Love the different embossed background panels and the different papers you used! Great job!!!
ReplyDeleteNo idea on the name Carol but seen them before and like Val always promise myself to make one, but yet to happen. But so effective and always love blue and green together despite my Gran always saying "blue and green should never be seen".

Your card designs are lovely and unique! The circular pattern created with the die-cut circles adds visual interest, and the choice of green and blue colors exudes a soothing vibe. The addition of the embossing folders and gemstones provides the perfect finishing touches for a cohesive and elegant look. Great job!
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards Carol I love the embossed backgrounds I think I need to use my folders more often they add such lovely texture to the card, I love how you have created the shapes from the patterned papers it looks so effective and suits the embossing perfectly well done
