The long winter days are over for us here but it's still cold! We haven't had much snow, but they say we might have a big one tonight!! Anyone have any free snow?! :D

At our local art store, my dad and I bought two stretched canvases and some Tombo Mono adhesive. I'm hoping to try out painting but don't be expecting a masterpiece!! Just something fun to do but I haven't even decided what to paint yet but I'll keep you updated on that!
So, as you all probably must be waiting for, a card!!!
Mainly, the circles in the background took the most time on this card! I have these templates for different sizes of circles and colored them in! Stuck a DP on there and later, lots of time thinking. I adhered the DP on and I couldn't think of a sentiment! I was thinking of some small, white letter stickers to spell out something but I didn't have any so... I trimmed off a piece of CD and it look good. I wrote a simple "hello" and colored it. Cut a little triangle off to get a 'banner' look and adhered it on. I watched a video that said that clustering your embellishments would give them more potential so I tried it out! I think it looks pretty good! What do you all think?
Also, added some circles inside with the card but forgot to get a pic of it. I'm also hoping to get a stamp that says "Handmade by Iris" so I can stamp it on the back of all my cards! Any of you out there have any preference for a good, solid ink?
That's all I've got to share today! Have a fabulous one!
p.s. This card goes with ths challenge:

Iris, this is adorable! So cute! I love your hand made circles for the background, and I do think the clustered embellishments look awesome! So glad that you shared. I know you will have fun with your canvas. They are always fun to craft with, and anything goes - you can paint, stamp, sponge, decoupage, whatever you like! Can't wait to see it. As for inks, on tiny delicate work, I use Versafine black or brown. With Copics, I used Tuxedo black or brown. Other than that, I just use what I like! Lots of Tim Holtz Distress inks for distressing too! Hugs...
