Going round in circles in November with STAMPlorations

Yes it's my busy first of the month day and I am here with my 2nd post, this time it is my November design team post for the STAMPlorations Theme and photo prompt team.

For our November challenge this is our theme and photo prompt.

There are not many rules; You must show some stamping on your project.

 You don't have to use STAMPlorations stamps to enter but of course we love it if you do! You can link up to 6 times with new blog posts and you need to include the challenge graphic in your post. You can go with the theme, the sketch or both, the choice is yours.

I always like to design using the prompt and the theme so this is what I got up to.

I first stamped and cut out the thank you coffee stamp

and coloured it using Zig watercolour pens.

I added some alcohol inks to a sheet of glossy card stock and then die cut out some circles.

I also cut some circles in blue and green card to replace those I had cut and stamped the words thank and you from the same set.

I then put my card together.

and a couple of close ups;

 below you can see the sparkle from the Stickles added to the flower stamen.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;

Simon says stamp Wednesday anything goes

The house that stamps built anything goes

Happy little stampers watercolour anything goes

It would be great to see you joining in with the fun and perhaps you might even be one of the winner.  You can go with the theme, the sketch or both, the choice is yours. There are some fab prizes to be won; $15 gift certificate to the winner and $10 for the runner up, chosen by a DT member. There are also $5 gift certificates given to each of 3 randomly drawn players. Once again this is the link to the challenge with all the info you need.

Thanks so much for stopping by today,

Back soon,

Bye for now,

For my 2nd card I used the Senecio 1 stencil

I chose the colours yellow, pink and green from the photo prompt.

This is what  I got up to; I used the stencil to add some yellow across my card background.

I also added some stamping using some of the fun border stamps from It's a girl thing; sunshine

I then made a cupcake similar to my first card using the awesome  Cupcake builder #2

  and stamped one of the sentiments from the  party time set

Here is my finsihed card

with a close up of that cup cake!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges;
