KRAFTY CIRCLE SQUARES.

 Hi friends!

Playing along with this FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES Challenge

(ends 5/11).

UPDATE!

Kim has honored me with Queen of Clean this challenge!  ❤️

I wasn’t quite sure exactly what direction I was going to head when I first saw the sketch above, but I LOLed at Kim’s mentioning she was going to do squares since there had been lots of circles previously, because I already knew I was going to fill my squares with circles 😂

After I found the paper collection I wanted to use it was just a matter of semi-precision cutting and pasting. Squares were raised slightly with heavyweight scrap card. White elements on the kraft card stock were heat embossed. This card measures approximately 4.75” square.
