AAA Cards ~ Challenge #285

Some signs of Spring here in the Pacific Northwest. The crocus and snowdrop flowers have started to appear. I'll definitely take that instead of the piles of snow back east! We have a new challenge at AAA Cards.

Here's my card

For my card, I used the floating circle technique. I cut strips of cardstock, that I felt were Spring colors, using the Optional twist of the challenge. I cut a thin piece of cardstock - about 1/8" wide, as a spacer. I used it to position the larger strips which varied slightly in width. I glued the strips in place on a piece of acetate. I placed the spacer between strips to maintain a consistent gap between the colored strips. Using a Sizzix circle die, I die cut the acetate. It took several passes with my Big Shot, with shims. At the end, I had to trim some edges with scissors. I placed some dimensional adhesive behind the strips, so they stayed hidden and adhered it to a white A2 cardbase. I die cut the sentiment and shadow using Simon Says STAMPS' Script Thanks die. I glued the pieces together and adhered it in place to complete my card. 

We'd love to see your Clean and Simple cards in our gallery.
