Circle Strip - Day 6 of my Personal Challenge

This Circle Strip Technique comes from the December 2013 issue of the Technique Junkie newsletter.  I used a variety of Vintage papers to create the look  for this card.  I added a strip of lace in the middle of the card. I placed the Circle strips on white card stock and layered it on dark green card stock.

First I stamped the Technique Junkie Live Laugh Love frame stamp http://techniquejunkies.com/live-love-laugh-frame/ on a piece of white card stock. Then I stamped the couple from Technique Junkies Vintage Travel Cases http://techniquejunkies.com/vintage-travel-cases-set-of-5/ in the middle of the frame. I colored the couple and the grass with my Copic markers.  Then I used my glitter marker and carefully went over the words and the squiggly frame line around the edge.

I layered this focal image on dark green card stock and adhered it over the lace on foam tabs to pop it up a bit.  Then I stamped the words on with brown ink in the bottom right corner of the white card stock.

Have a great day -- and get inky.

Try That Technique Challenge

Good Mornin' Ladies: Nancy Dawson here with our next Try That Technique Challenge! Circle Strips was featured in the December/January 2014 Technique Junkie Newsletter. It is so interesting, quick and easy to make. The circles adds interest by being varied at the bottom of your strip.

I used Stampin' Up materials including the Season of Style Designer Paper Pack. I just love these since they are 4 1/2 x 6 1/2, perfect for card-making and you get 48 sheets! A stamp from the Tag It set and cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits added just the perfect sentiment.

Enjoy and let us see your creations.

Happy Stampin'
