Today's Papertrey Ink group post is highlighting such a fun and beautiful new stamp set. It's called Round Repeats and it's all about letting your imagination run wild and creating beautiful, circular images, but as you'll see from each of the Design Team members, the set can be used to create non-circular designs as well.
I used the Limitless Layers: 2 1/2" Circles die collection as my base and stamped my Round Repeat images using Spring Moss, Simply Chartreuse, Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, and Autumn Rose. I stamped off the darker colors before stamping them on my base in order to create a softer look. I then added sequins and a layered flower cut using the Heart-2-Heart #7 die and vintage trim. The leaves also use the Heart-2-Heart #7 die and Simply Chartreuse ink.
My sentiment comes from the Love Lives Here stamp set and is stamped using Melon Berry ink.
I matted my Round Repeats stamped images and Limitless Layers onto the large, lovely clock face from the Hands of Time stamp set and embossed it using white embossing powder. Around the edge, I used the floral vine image from the Stitched Sentiments stamp set and embossed it using Zing Blush.
I hope you can make sense of the direction my mind went with this card. I imagined the images in the Round Repeat set forming letters, beautiful, detailed, monograms, etc. So, I created an "L" using one of these images and embossed it using Zing Grapefruit and added flowers from the set using Zing Rouge, with heart shaped leaves from the Framed Out #11 stamp set, embossed in Zing Leaf.
The sentiment is a combination of the new Antique Alphabet stamp set and the Framed Out #11 stamp set. This is matted to a die cut using the Spiral Notebook Page die cut from Aqua Mist cardstock.
Across the top I die cut striped paper using the Heart Border die. It is embellished with a die cut flower using the Flipping Out die and Pure Poppy felt. The washi tape is from Freckled Fawn.
You'll love this set!

These are INSPIRED. Your first card is a love sonnet to pale colors. It is just one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen. By mixing the 'round' elements of the new set, you made it possible to see both colors used giving it enough gravity to be a focal point. (Wow - the things I'm learning today.) You've inspired me to get out my round elements and play.
And squeal, you made a letter out of that element! Creative genius! Again, I will need to try doing that with my other stamp sets. Thank you for sharing that amazing brain with the blogging community.

My 'ah" moment! Just beautiful with many lovely details, including lace and sequins. Really like how you placed the medallion in the hands of time, the softer shading of inks!
