Susan's One Layer Challenge last Wednesday was to use at least FIVE circles on our one layer card. None of these circles could be punched or die cut.
Man, I wish I bought those Delicate Doilies or Circle Circus stamp sets. But I didn't and as usual, my mind went blank.
But my eyes lit on the Clearly for You set and guess what I saw? Circles. Lots and lots of circles. Circle berries with circle seeds.
Then I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about this card. I couldn't get it out of my head. About 3:00 am, I realized what was niggling my mind. There are 4 berry bushes. It's an even number. The rule is uneven numbers. It's probably going to drive Susan crazy! Sorry, but after 4 tries to get to this point, it's staying like this.
I masked off he area to be stamped with sticky notes, inked the stamp with markers and stamped using my Stamp-a-majig. Then I went back and stamped some extra leaves. I dipped my sponge in the Pool Party ink pad to sponge around the berries, scored 1/8" above and below the image and stamped the sentiment.
All supplies are Stampin' Up!

Sorry you were up at 3:00 a.m. thinking about this, but it sure paid off as it's just lovely! Three just would not have been enough and four's the right amount!

Well done, it's lovely :)
Bonnie, I SO enjoy going to your blog- you are so inspirational, your cards are just genius. Gorgeous!! Carol
Oh, don't you hate when your stamping keeps you awake? :-) Your berry bushes look great and I love the blue sponging...really popped out your images.
I like the placement of your panel and as there are 4 berried on each of the stems it seems natural to go with 4. x
So effective, even number or no, it's lovely
What a great idea - all those circles in the berries! I'm glad other people wake up in the night worrying about card designs!
