Mod Circles for Retro Rubber

 Our challenge for the next two weeks at Retro Rubber is to use circles in your project.  I took the "mod" part and decided that bright fluorescent colors would also be appropriate!  Hope you have as much with your Mod Circles as I did!

I decided to start with all my colors of Radiant Neon ink and an ancient Fiskars stamp stamp from at least 2005, Layer Away Variety.  This project was a bit of an experiment and turned into making a total of eight cards!

• A different color of Radiant Neon was chosen for each size of circle.  Electric Blue, Electric Green, Electric Orange, Electric Yellow, Electric Pink, and Electric Purple.  The different stamps were stamped randomly around a sheet of 8.5" x 1".  Subsequently this was trimmed into 4" x 2.5" sections.
• Another sheet of white cardstock was trimmed into four sections of 4" x 5" and pressure embossed with Cuttlebug Spots and Dots embossing folder.  The Radiant Neon Electric Orange ink pad was rubbed over the raised portions of the embossed cardstock.  Each section was trimmed to 4" x 2.5"
• Scraps of white cardstock were inked with an ink blusher and Radiant Neon Electric Green then pressure embossed with Cuttlebug Polka Dots.  Sections were trimmed to .75" x 4.25".
• Stamping Up!'s Think Happy Thoughts from about 2007 was stamped in Radiant Neon Electric Purple, with the flower stamped in Radiant Neon Electric Pink.  The sentiment was die cut with Spellbinder Standard Circles Large.
• Cardstock was die cut with Spellbinder Classic Scallops then the edges inked in Radiant Neon Electric Pink.
• The A-2 card base egdes are inked with an ink blusher and Radiant Neon Electric Blue.
• The card is adhered together with the sentiment circle raised with dimensional foam adhesive.

After a little experimentation I came up with a design that highlighted the bright color and fit the theme.  Please do join us at Retro Rubber and create something with circles!
