Walking around in Circles

Hellloooooooooo!

Craft barn challenge time again....actually I'm a week behind.....but that's why it's a good job there's two weeks for each letter, anyway this time it is W and you have to use circles on the background. So I was thinking Weather but when I checked my dictionary I had previously torn that page out for another project. Then my mom text me and suggested walking because I do a lot of it - and so I picked walk out of the dictionary. Even better I could link in the circles with the phrase "Walking around in circles".
 So this time I used Paper Artsy Fresco finish paints - I forget the actual colour names but a light pink and lilac - then I used a scrap bit of card that I'd previously been messing about with stencils and inks on and punched out the circles - I glued them down with sparkle mod podge - which has got glitter in it. Then I drew on the little stick people and stamped the signpost which is from one the Hobby Art scene it sets. Then I used purple archival to stamp the dots (Tim Holtz Ultimate Grunge) and and added some purple glitter. The I used black gesso and a lid to stamp some more circles; and I went around the edge with some walnut stain and dusty concord distress inks. Oh I also drew on some circles as well with a purple fine liner.

 Here's the link - letter W
