Two Cards for Two Challenges

I used a "two for one" technique to make two cards (this is the first card): I made the patterned paper using a technique I learned from a you-tube video by Ardyth. I die cut the circle with a die from Altenew and used both the positive and negative to make two cards.

I am entering them in two card challenges: The Paper Players PP779 and Freshly Made Sketches FMS729

Here is my first card with close up to hopefully see the sparkle:




The challenge for The Paper Players is a Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge:


I used the left-most vertical column: die cut, sparkle, and circle. My card also fits the bottom row: circle, patterned paper (that I made myself with watercolor and stencil), and layers.

And here is the sketch for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge:


I used a circle instead of the oval in the sketch.

What a lovely card! The pattern paper you created is a gorgeous color. I bet the sparkle is amazing in real life. I love the way you used the layout. Thank you for playing in my challenge at The Paper Players!

The patterned paper you made is gorgeous and I love how you can see the horizontal strip from the background through the open circle, fun take on the sketch. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week!
