Floating strips


 

The current Butterfly Challenge features the technique known as floating strips. I remember seeing this technique a long time ago and wanting to try it. It's really very easy -- you cut strips of paper, glue them on a clear sheet with space between each strip, then mount the clear acetate on a card with mounting tape.

This  technique is an excellent way to use up snippets if you have some with colors that work well together, too. In fact, my card is entirely made from snippets, including the floating strips, butterfly, and sentiment panel.

This card is entered in these challenges:

Butterfly #169 -- floating strips, butterfly, flower, colors of flax and fawn

Pixie's Snippet Playground #426 -- use snippets

Word Art Wednesday #539 -- anything goes

Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2216 -- anything goes
