Fun circle technique
Hello everyone – if you have circle dies then you can #ShopYourCraftStash and create a card with this fun circle technique.
I ran across a technique I did 6 years ago and decided to revisit it in a simpler idea. All I needed was circle dies and some pattern paper from my stash.
Today’s Project
Begin with 3 different sized circle dies – I used a 3 1/4″, 2 3/8″, and 1 5/8″. Grab 3 coordinating pieces of pattern paper. Cut your circles in half and layer them. Put the 2 circles together and offset them to create the fun swirls. Use a strip of metallic paper or some thin wash tape to cover up the edge where the 2 circles are joined.
To add some interest, use an embossing folder to add some texture to the background. Finish it off with a die cut. I used a leaf so it could be used as a masculine idea. Change the die cut and he paper to make it feminine.
