Circle Circus?!

I had almost forgotten I owned this stamp set!  It is one of the few wood mounted stamp sets I have left.  I keep those in a drawer and always forget what I have in there. It's one of my favorites for making my own dsp so that is what I decided to do today for the challenges at The Paper Players and colourQ.
I loved these colors but I don't have the retired ones so I substituted in Pool Party and Pacific Point.  Circle Circus is such a great set because there is no way to mess up with it!
This card was so simple and I love the way it turned out!  I simply stamped the Circle Circle images all over the Whisper White cardstock and then used a circle punch to punch out the window for the sentiment. I cheated for the sentiment and stamped it on a scrap of Pool Party and then adhered it with Dimensionals. I knew there was no way I would get it lined up perfectly by just stamping it on the card base!  The Pacific Point panel is embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and then I used a Window Frames Framelit to punch out a frame for the sentiment window.  So simple!

    What a great way to use Circle Circus in the background of your card! And the cutout works perfectly here. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week.

    Terrific card Shana! I forget about my Circle Circus too. This makes me want to dig it out and play. Love it with the honeycomb texture panel.
