Sunday Sketch

This is the time to pull out your circle punches, circle cutters, circle templates or circle-drawing ability. You're going to need them for this sketch!

Layered circles in a variety of coordinating colors and patterns are the focal point of this beautiful card layout. If you have several sheets from a mat stack, you've found the easy way out. Or if you're feeling a little more confident, pick a theme or color palette, then mix and match to your heart's content.

Cut two large circles, two medium circles and two small circles, then randomly overlap them from the bottom left corner to the top right.

You'll need a sentiment that's also a circle, or you'll throw this whole sketch out of whack. And we can't have that now, can we?

For my card, I chose a autumn theme, since fall will be here before we know it. The patterns are all from the same paper pack, so they're pre-coordinated, which makes me very happy.

I cut three sizes of circles from five different patterns and overlapped them from corner to corner.

My sentiment is a round sticker, so I double matted it on more coordinating paper.
