Pinned It? Try It! Week 6: Circle Snippets

Welcome back to my 6th episode of Pinned It? Try It!  I have been perusing card ideas I have pinned long ago, and actually trying the ideas!  

This week, I am focusing on this Pin that was in my Sketch Board.  The original website was Echo Park’s Flickr account and the card was designed by Wendy McKee.  As far as I can tell, Wendy is no longer papercrafting or blogging.  

I really liked this pin for the creative use of small scraps of paper.  I do not use my punches and dies enough, so I knew that this would be a good challenge for me. 

While I loved the wonderful summery colors in the inspiration pin, I wanted to go with a more fall theme.  The papers are all either kraft cardstock, or scraps of a VERY OLD 6x6 paper pad called Darling Deer.  I love this paper pad, but need to use it up.  My banner is a stamp, and I had to add a cute bird stamp as well.  I did distress most of the paper and die edges with Tea Dye distress ink. 

I also was inspired to use my corner rounder, which I haven’t used much lately. 

Supplies:  JFF Fashion Warbler stamp, Lawn Fawn Bannerific Stamp set, I Brake for Stamps Sheet 138B (sentiment), My Mind’s Eye Darling Deer 6x6 paper pad, Gina Marie X Stitched Circle dies, EK Success Circle Punch, Spellbinders leaf dies, other items from my stash.

I would love to enter Pixies Snippets Playground Anything Goes challenge, and WordArtWednesday’s Anything Goes challenge.
