Happy Monday! I have a fun little circle card today that I made using inspiration from 2 different challenges

First, I loved the challenge at All Sorts – which was “Anything but a square.” That’s where I got the idea to make a circle card. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a shape card! That’s why I love card challenges. They get me thinking past my normal design mode.

Next. I loved the Tic Tac Toe board over at the Papercraft Crew challenge!

I went with the top row across. I watercolored this cute octopus and then pulled out these old rhinestone brads from Stampin Up! Something fun I tried was smashing them in my Big Shot after removing the prongs. Then, I adhered them using hot glue. It worked pretty well! I just wanted them more flat than they were as normal brads

Of course I wanted to add a little something to the inside to go along with my ocean theme. So I added some little fish from this same stamp set, which is from Catherine Pooler

And my card was finished! This fits in a standard A2 envelope and definitely has me wanting to make more cards like this to switch things up!

Thanks for stopping by to see my creation for today!
