Round, like a circle

Well I don't think anyone would disagree that I've got windmills in my mind!  One of my favourite songs ever that.

Hello blogworld

Here I am again when I shouldn't be - did you notice that?  It's Team Abi's turn this week at Sweet Stampin' but I, probably in a reaction to making so few cards recently, have had a bit of a manic cardmaking week and am joining in.

I saw this card style in this blog and loved the idea.  Then as the challenge this week is 'Anything but a square' I thought, aha two birds one stone and here I am!

This weeks sponsor is Di's Digis and on offer is a $10 voucher:

Our regular monthly sponsor is Joanna Sheen and a £10 voucher is on offer:

So what card made I in my busy week then?  Have a look-see, but lots of pictures to wade through:

Showing the extra base for the message:

You'll have to excuse that in places the circles don't completely match up, it is the first time that I've made this type of card - next time I'll be better.

I used:

Digi stamp:

Tiddly Inks - Wryn Birthday Girl

coloured with my Pro and Flexmarkers and a white gel pen

Dies:

Nestie circles and scalloped circles

Lea'bilities Cutting/Embossing Die - Swirl Circle and Flowers

Paper:

Papermania - Blueberry Hill

Others:

Lace and brad - from my stuff

Swirl, was a freebie

Craftwork cards - circle sentiment

There you go, that's my not a square card, if you are looking for more not squares pop over to the challenge blog and take a peek at what the very talented ladies on Team Abi have created.  While you're there soaking up the inspiration, you could pop an entry into the challenge.

See you soon,

Sarah
