You're never more than a thought away

I had the opportunity to try a new technique - well new to me - floating strips.

 

I came across a few lovely examples around the blogs and then set about making a card.

 

 

I cut up some strips from a handmade background that I wasn't particularly happy with that has been in my stash for a while.  I traced one of my circle dies on a piece of paper, placed a piece of acetate on top, then positioned the strips over the circle using Connect Glue.  I then cut out a large circle from the acetate using Spellbinder nested circles dies.

I placed foam tape behind the strips and positioned the circle towards the top of the cardfront.

 

I positioned a die cut of a water windmill received in a CraftMad swap many years ago, and has been sitting in my stash waiting for the perfect opportunity, on top of the circle.  I then stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up Whimsical Words. 

 

A final scatter of bling to finish off!
