Yay!!! I can finally reveal my entry. It isn’t a card and it isn’t a scrapbook page in fact it has very little stamping on but I love how it turned out, and I am already making more. Is a fully wearable necklace made from punched out circles.
I used nearly all the circles punches, starting with the 1 3/8″ then moving outwards the 1 1/4″, then is the 1″ then the 3/4″. And how I love those colours I tell you I had real trouble sending this in to SU. I have used the following colours
Basic Black, Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Orchid Opulence, Almost amethyst, tempting Turquoise, Green Galore and Certainly Celery those two colours were alternated for a brighter green but not quite as bright as green galore on is own. I have simply threaded the discs onto necklace thread and separated the different section with clear crystals from the Pretties kit. Elegant ribbon finishes it off. Here’s another view complete with the display stand I made.
It really was quick and easy to make apart from maybe a little taxing on my hands, and i have completed it in 2.5 hours on a lap tray in car while travelling down to London. ***NO I WASN’T DRIVING SILLY ***
So I hope you will love this as much as I do and I have a little game for you to play. Guess how many circles I used for this entire neck piece? The FIRST person to get it right will receive a little prize from me, I might even make a smaller version of this necklace for them. Good Luck !!Hugs Monica xxx
Oh Monica fab project, fingers crossed that you win with this, my son and I have had a rough guess and think about 1000 circles!

Ooh, nice project Monica! Hmmmm, not sure but I'll say 850 circles? Probably not even close LOL…tfs!!!
Wow Monica this is stunning!! Love the colours you have chosen. My guess would be 624 circles.

I'm going to go with 500 – gorgeous colours by the way – my favourite!
Oh, I've just noticed someone else said 500 so I'm gonna change to 550
Wow Monica, this is wonderful & what a brilliant idea – but then I'd expect nothing less from you!
My guess is around 1500 circles

This is so amazing What a fabulous idea! And it works completely. I bet it looks fabulous on!
My guess … 735.

This is stunning!
I am going to take a guess at about 175 circles! The cardstock is quite thick and fabby quality, so i dont think it is a *REALLY* high number . . . . . . . i could be wrong! lol!
492 is my guess. Looks fab Monica! Would look really good in felt – you wouldn't need quite so many circles either! Though I'm not so sure it would cut easily. Love the stand too. Good luck with your entry.
I really haven't a clue but one thing I do know is that is a lot of punching.
So I will take a wild guess at 560.
I think Shelli is going to be really impressed Monica.
Hi Monica,
This is just great! Loved the colour combo and the delicate separations. The striped ribbon really is the finishing touch. How do you come up with these fabulous ideas. I guess you used like 3266 circles.
love this necklace…love the colour combo…i'm guessing 950 circles
Minerva

How very clever Mon!! Good luck I'm guessing about 1079 circles!
Monica-this is gorgeous. I might have known you'd do jewellery asyou love it so much. Well done.
I am guessing at 990-certain I'm making a fool of myself by being so wrong but hey ho. Love this-you are so clever!!!
Hi monica,

I estimate 1119 circles – is it heavy do you stoop when you wear it lol xx
