Today's card was created for the latest Paper Players card challenge. No one likes to think about a long-term relationship ending, but we all know it happens. I have a friend whose daughter just ended her marriage, and she asked me to create a card for her. I used Kelly Purkey's F Bomb stamp set and heat embossed it onto some pink cardstock using Ranger's white detail embossing powder. Using various punches from Stampin' UP and dies from Spellbinders, I created lots of circles, hearts, and flowers using beautiful, patterned paper from Echo Park's Hello Valentine 6x6 paper pad. I created a panel by die cutting a rectangle using a Paper Rose stitched rectangle die, embossed it using a Spellbinders plaid embossing folder, and adhered the whole panel down onto my white A2 card base using thin foam tape for a little added dimension. I adhered the circles I created onto the focal panel using Bearly Art liquid glue. I embellished the card using some Recollections clear rhinestones in various sizes. I love how this card turned out! Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend.

Sorry for the reason you needed this card, that's a tough one, but it turned out great. All of the circles are fun!
Well, it's sad that your friend needed a card like this, but it sure is a cute one! LOVE all your circles; they're cheerful and fun so hopefully spirits will be lifted! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Paper Players this week!
What a sad reason to make a card, but you made it cheerful, with love and a good sentiment for her too. I'm sure she will appreciate it. x
Celeste... I must say your sentiment definitely caught my eye! When I read your inspiration for the card, I loved it! I have a couple of old Kelly Purkey sets... and she does have a way with words. Fabulous use of circles (and scraps!). Thanks so much for sharing this unique card with The Paper Players.
