ABC challenge ... C is for ...

Circles

This week we would like to see circles on your creations. We have got a fabulous Party Animals stamp up for grabs from Katharina at Whiff of Joy.
I am amazed that I have got this card made for this challenge - life is hectic at the moment. Hubby is on holiday so we have been out every day, so no crafting in daylight. And our pussycat has a poorly leg - the vet thinks someone might have shot her with an air pistol. And my friend's father has finally lost his battle with cancer ... so not really in a crafting frame of mind.
I watercoloured the image, and them distressed all the papers ... it can be a great stress reliever! I stitched the papers using siver pen. I made the flowers out of circles (theres's a surprise!!) and again distressed the edges and scrunched them up alot!!.
As I have used grey and pink as a colour scheme I am entering this for the Stampin' for the weekend challenge, and as I have used stitching, I am entering it into the PBSC this week.


Recipe:
Stamp(s): Penny Black embrace
Colouring Media: distress inks
Papers: coredinations
Embellishments: ribbon and brads from stash
