Welcome back for another round of Colour INKspiration. This week's colour inspo picture has all the purples- now this is not my go to colour so I don't have a lot so card in these shades, so I used a handy technique that doesn't require much. I don't know if there is a name for this, but I do know it is not a new technique, but it is quite effective.

For the feature panels take strips of cardstock in different widths, and narrow strips of foil card - I used gold here (it's great way to use up the edges of scrap pieces). Edge the plain card with foil and adhere using strong tape to a large piece of window sheet (acetate). Leave small even gaps between the strips so that they will look as though they are floating.
Using your cut and emboss machine cut the largest plain circle . It may need hand trimming if the cut doesn't go all the way through the assembled piece as it is quite thick. From my piece of window sheet I was able to cut two large circles and trim the remainder to a long rectangle.
You need to elevate the window sheet using thin strips of foam adhesive - the strips designed for shaker cards are perfect for this.
I then add a single gold foil diecut shape on an embossed background mat and a simple sentiment.
I did experiment with different colour background and base pieces for alternative looks.
