The Flower Challenge #71 Circles

We have a fun challenge for you this month at The Flower Challenge - hope you like it!

If you follow my cardmaking journey you've seen my fast and sure love of these wonderful Honeysuckles - I've saved this pretty pink duo just for you today! 


I've incorporated the 'circle' in the shape of my card, and the fun
circular pattern from that hemstitched die - a few round enamels dots 
for good measure!

I had a new set of Concord & 9th sentiment dies to use so I searched my snippets for the perfect green for the shadow layer - loved that it had this wonderful texture, too!

It was high-time I used these perfect pinks, and brilliant greens 
for those honeysuckles!


So, where will you find your circles to share?  We can't wait to see them in The Flower Challenge gallery soon!  Now, let's go see how my talented teamies added circles to flowers - or flowers to circles!  OH!!  and my sweet friend Therese is our guest this month!!!

Nothing like a bit of honeysuckle and a beautiful card to make my day... my flight to Cairns was cancelled at 2am this morning, so I'm feeling a little down (insert sad face here)....

Oh how I love the fresh scent of honeysuckles. Mine are the yellow and white, but your pinky ones are truly delightful. Thank you so much for sharing, Michele!

Those honeysuckle vines are so wonderful, and you are suing them in so many wonderful ways. Today's circular design and color choices are fantastic!

The honeysuckle looks right at home curved around the circle, Michele, and that bright green shadow is my favorite color.

You sure know how to make that honeysuckle stamp set SHINE Michele...it's like Betsy made it with YOU in mind!! And it looks FABULOUS on the circle die cut with the added hemstitch die cut added! And I love, LOVE your new sentiment dies...add those to the pile too! I think we need to schedule a date before I ask you to bring so much you can't fit it all in the car!! AWESOME card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
