7 Kids College Fund Challenge - Circle Shapes

It's Wednesday and time for another 7 Kids College Fund Challenge.

Our challenge this week is Circle Shapes - Make either a circle shaped card or include circles on your card. 

For my card, I jumped way out of my circle of comfort, and made this Asian card...



You can find the following items at 7 Kids College Fund... 
Accessories: Liquid Pearls


My daughter loves the Japanese culture. When she saw the card, she immediately said, "Oh, I want it!" So, I gave it to her to put in her room.


I altered Tilda's eyes just a bit to bring a more authentic feel to my Japanese themed card.


The ying-yang symbol, pagoda and bridge are from the Cricut Pagoda Cartridge.


For balance I wanted to carry some of the red to the top of the card, so I added these teardrop gems.



I used my retro flower punch and some Liquid Pearls for the flower centers.

While you are over at 7 Kids College Fund, check out the sale on Prima's.

OMG!!!!! Julie your card is out of this world. I love your yin/yang symbol. What a very clever design and the card is absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I have ever seen anything like it. Ah so - you are very wise to have altered Tilda's eyes -- your creation demanded it. The paper on the bottom with what looks like gold swirls on it is out of this world perfect. Now I am beginning to slobber. I have told you before, you use some of the pretties papers I have ever seen. Your coloring is fantastic. One amazing card Julie!!!!!
