Hello! I am back with a fun card. I love circle cards, but this one has a twist... and it's a half circle... but just as much fun! It's a Circular Side Step Card. Beate has a fabulous tutorial on SplitCoastStampers.
I did scale it down so it would fit in an A2 envelope... it wasn't easy though. I had to try it twice before it came out the way I wanted... I also had a hard time with covering the white base card, but next time I will know better...

LOVE your circle Step card!!! I love your DP and design! I used a piece of typing paper and made my pattern 3 times before I had it right! I also had a bit of trouble covering the front. It was a fun learning experience and makes such a unique card!!! Thanks for playing along with us this week at Speedy Fox and Friends blog challenge!
