So, I really enjoyed making that lacey circle card yesterday, and had to make another. OK, well, this one isn't a lacey circle (having used up my one and only yesterday!), but it is a circle card and another rare-for-me shaped card. I just cut two circles using my Creative Memories templates and used Noelle's wonderful method for joining them into a flat-front card. Easy!
I mentioned yesterday that I've recently exhausted my supply of sympathy and get well cards. I'm still trying to build up my stash, so I thought this one could go either way with its "Thoughts of You" sentiment (from {ippity}'s Regal Greetings kit)--with the right message inside, this could be an appropriately somber sympathy card OR an elegant get well card. I like having that kind of flexibility.
I'm still using the Chick Challenges {with Ippity} #5 sketch for this week and playing along with {ippity}'s Mini Cards Challenge (this card is 4" in diameter).
I like how this turned out. I think I may be making round cards more often!
Thanks for dropping by for a little slice of bliss today. I hope you are having a fantastic weekend!

This is super classy and elegant, Em! Love it. :)
Love this colour combo and the DP is fabulous! Another wonderful round card :)
What an elegant and classy card! Great colours.
very pretty and elegant. you are rockin' the black and white theme.
I'm a big fan of flexibility in sentiments too :) I love the sheer ribbon, and woohoo! on another shaped card. I've never made one that I liked, and I have Nesties so no excuse. I'm just a fan of corners, I guess.
It really sucks that you're low on get well & sympathy cards. It's the kind that you never want to use, but in my experience they are the ones that are most treasured by the recipients.
A beautiful and elegant card Emily. The sheer black bow is so pretty.

Love the card shape and LOVE the colors! Emily, it is so clever of you to use a sentiment that could be for so many different occasions!
It' very elegant, Emily. You makes the 'bestest' round cards...keep it up.
Very elegant! I love how you can create something so sophisticated and yet create something whimsical or romantic and they ALL look fabulous! So talented!!!

This is a great card, Emily!! Love how elegant it is, and it definitely works as a sympathy or a friendship card. Love this!!
