Paisley Parking!
Ahhhh, another card sketch that includes a circle! I don’t know why I enjoy the circles, but I had to participate in this sketch challenge by Carolyn King in the Gina K. member forum at SCS. As soon as I saw the sketch, I knew it would be fun to use this humorous stamp set. Once I had selected this paisley paper from Chatterbox, I felt it could imply a little bit of flower-child nostalgia. Hence, the car received the “hippy” paint job by way of paper-piecing! The circles were easily made with my Nestabilities, as well as the scalloped square liner on the inside of the card. 
And this card was my first attempt at using my new Copics Airbrush System from eP! Oooooh, so easy and fun! Be sure to check out the rest of the sentiment on the inside! 😉 Thanks for stopping by today!
