I used a simple stencil with different size circles and a Blending Brush to blend Peach Pie ink onto the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card. I used the large Circle, The medium circle and the small circle.

Using the same stencil, I added Calypso Coral ink around the rim of each circle to give the illusion of depth.
