Circles are a fun shape to play with and add colour to. I saw this set from PTI called Scribble Circles and just knew I had to have it. Aren't they fun!
I started by stamping different sizes of the circles onto my cardstock using black Memento ink. Then, using a sponge, I rubbed Distress inks in Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers over the circles freely and not worrying about staying inside the lines. To give it a watercolour look, I took a water pen and added water to remove some of the ink and reveal lighter areas and to help blend the ink.
I added the sentiment from Unity and doodled in the border to pull it all together.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
