Well that wasn’t too long a wait for a one handed post … here’s my second card …
I used PTI’s Sketched Shapes to make the circle grid … each circle double stamped to make the criss cross pattern … and a gap was left for the sentiment. I stamped and heat embossed the the vellum overlay with a PTI sentiment and wrapped it round the stamped panel, adhering it to the back. The stamped panel was mounted on vellum, which had already been edged with a Promarker, and the whole thing was popped up on foam dots on the card base. The tiny gems were the finishing touch.
I’m joining in with these challenges …

Textured circles on textured card – fabulous! Love the soft colour scheme.
Soft and subtle. This has such a gentle feel to it. My word, how do you do it every time??? Your cards are always such a delight. I could look at them for hours.Those circles are brilliant in those beautiful colors…dang girl!
Such a pretty card, Anita! I love the soft pastels you chose for the circles, and how you stamped them to create your pattern…brilliant! I also love your vellum sentiment strip…it’s the perfect elegant touch for this stunning card!
Anita you are so creative and you continue to amaze me. Crisis crossing the stamp. Really.
so soft and pretty, anita! your take on the MIM challenge is wonderful!
wow…what a fabulous card! I love your technique and will have to give this a try. So sweet.

Such a soft pretty colours. The vellum overlay with sentiment is beautiful! Thanks for playing along CASE Study Challenge 🙂
So soft and pretty Anita!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous! The texture of this paper is divine…and works so well with the velum! Love the soft, muted colors of your cross-hatched stamped circles! The Promarker colored velum mat totally sets off the main panel design with this bold, yet subdued color!
BTW – You will definitely be ‘burning up’ the winner’s circle with both of these creative beauties 🙂
Beautiful. Love the vellum. x
Such fabulous stamping and colours and the overlay looks gorgeous with the white sentiment. xx
Isn’t vellum fabulous!! I don’t use it very often (for some reason I find it a bit daunting) but it certainly looks amazing with your card, especially with the white embossing. Fantastic idea to double stamp to make the criss-cross pattern. And the colours are so lovely and soft. Well done typing one handed, hopefully this time next week you will be churning the cards out!!!
Anita, I love the softness to your card. The colors are delicious. Great job.
Seriously, not only is your card exponentially beautiful, but I’m wondering how you managed to fashion such amazing stamping and embossing with one hand!! Double-doozy impact, indeed!! The soft colours, the criss-crossed circles, the vellum-background sentiment…another WOW x WOW!! Hugs~c
Oh how pretty, Love the clean design and perfect stamping. I love the vellum over the subtle shades of colors 🙂
Great job! The circles are stamped so perfectly!
