This graphic card had several sources of inspiration:
1) Nancy Littrell's card (she's the Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers this week!)
2) This graphic design on my Pinterest inspiration board, which reminded me of a rose:
3) Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a Scottish designer from the late19th, early 20th century whose roses look like this:
I used my (increasingly frustrating) circle nestabilities to create the rings (I may have to haul out my Cricut at some point! lol!), added just a touch of Stickles for a little sparkle.

AWESOME!!!
Fantastic. I saw that picture on your Pinterest board & just KNEW we'd be seeing it on a card soon... Jenny
ACKKK!!! LOVE THIS!!! This is so YOU! Creating a rose by methodically alternating the circle intersections is unmistakably Ardyth! And, have I told you before that Charles Rennie Mackintosh is one of my favorite art nouveau visionaries? I think I may have. I have a book that is a collection of his work. I should get that out again ... what a great source of inspiration. So well done!!
Simply genius!
Awesome! I LOVE it!
AMazing......!!
STUNNINGLY COOL!
(just had to join in on all the other one/two word WOW's)
Mackintosh's work reminds me Frank Lloyd Wrights designs. Your card is fab. Love the bright, bright red with the white totally accented by the black. Gorgeous. Love it. Wow. Bev
This is really cool! Am I crazy or does this remind anyone else of the Pinterest logo? When I saw you mention Pinterest that just popped into my head.
As soon as I saw this I though Charles Rennie Mackintosh ... WOW so delicious ... I LOVE it!
Go on, dust off that Cricut ... it'll love you for it!!

Stunning. Genius. Wow. This is a perfect example of why I never miss a blog post!
I love the simplicity and abstractness of this card.
Whoa. This is incredible.
I was thinking Rennie Mackintosh too from the thumbnail, circles are so versatile!! Love the striking design )
