Square Can Be Round

I have been intrigued with Just Rite Stampers Friday challenges and wanted to play along with this week's challenge to use a round stamp with the sketch they provided.  I do have some rounds from JR Stampers but I wanted to tackle using a SQUARE image and making it appear round. (Per the challenge deets this was ok).

Here's their sketch:

And here's my card:

I have a friend who really needs a lift which is why I chose this square sentiment from JR Stampers Hope Border and Centers.  Punched the white CS with a MS trellis punch, embossed the other 2/3 of the CS with the swirls CB folder. I stamped a JR floral image that comes with the Oval Wood Stamper (AND FONT SET!!) and colored the florals and the sentiment swirls with some Copics.  I cut out the image with a Nestie circle then matted it on a pink CS layer cut with the Nestie blossom. I love pearls so I added some pale green to accent the blossom and some pale pink just for embellishments.

A close up of the senti which is SO beautiful. I think I will use this one a LOT! I want my friend to know that I believe in her and I know she will rise again and again.

Thanks for stopping by. Do visit Just Rite Stampers - they just released some NEW STAMPS, some new CLEAR BLOCKS for stamping and are coming out with a MARVELOUS stampers catalog.  You can find the link for pre-orders here.
