Join us! It is THEME week at The Paper Players. Joanne is challenging us to create a card that uses CIRCLES. This challenge was so much fun for me! I pulled out four cool color inks (purple, blue and green). I also pulled out all the "circle" stencils I have... by Simon Says Stamp, Waffle Flower (five bokeh stencils) and a new stencil source, Killer Zebras (a cake decorating site selling decorating stencils, discussed in my Challenge 742 blog). Then I just played. I stenciled a lot of card bases, die cutting a border on the card front with dotted circles! The final touch was a die cut sentiment and a few gems.
I made nine "circle" cards for donation to to Little Birthday Angels, a local agency who ensures every child, who might not otherwise, has a birthday celebration.
Check out our fabulous design team. These ladies work hard to inspire you each week. Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.
Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:
1. Create a new paper project
2. Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us and provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge submission.
3. Please link your card to no more than four challenges in total.
Enjoy! I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

WOW-- Elizabeth, I love all of these cards. This was such a fun challenge and your cards reflect how much fun you had stenciling all of these backgrounds! SUPER FUN!!!!
What a fun collection of cards, Elizabeth! I love the colors you used. The bold sentiment die cut really makes a statement. I think it is wonderful you are donating nine of them to such a worthwhile cause. Have an amazing week!
