Today was one of those days, so I needed a little creative time to refresh my mind and relax. My doctor's appointment went okay, but with my blood pressure still being high it looks like Miss Laila will be here a week earlier than we'd planned. We should hear from them this week about changing our scheduled c-section to the week of the 25th instead of on July 2nd. So...I gotta stamp while I can! I wanted to play with the Dynamic Duos challenge this week and thought it might be fun paired with the Clean-and-Simple challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. I'm determined to get this CAS thing down!
My first instinct with those colors was flowers, but I really am a bit tired of flowers. I decided to try something with Circle Circus instead. I think I'm one of the few people who like this set. :) It works great paired with Perfectly Penned too! I tried to do a bit of layering with the circles so that it wasn't so flat; a bit of dimension can add a lot! I'm still a bit unsure of all that white space, but hey, I'm trying!
Stamps: Circle Circus, Perfectly Penned
Ink: Regal Rose, Basic Gray
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Regal Rose
Tool/Accessories: assorted circle punches, scallop circle punch, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, Boho Blossoms punch, Basic Pearls

Great use of white space on your card. I think those circles are perfect for a two color combo like this, very pretty!

Love Circle Circus! Why didn't I get it?? Pretty card! And pretty cool that Laila will have a June birthday -can't wait!

Great CAS card! I also really like Circle Circus too...it's my go to set when none of my other sets fit the occasion! TFS!
Oh wow! I love what you have done with Circle Circus. I struggle using that set. TFS and joining us at Dynamic Duos this week.
Well, all-righty I think you do CAS quite well! I can NEVER get circles right when I try a pattern like this. Mine always look all wonky. And this is a great color combo for this design.
Your white space is perfect! I've not been a fan of this set but you might be changing my mind - love your layout of circles. So glad to see you at Dynamic Duos!
Fantastic card Rita. Love the dimension you created with the circles. Thanks' for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week.
