Casology, Dynamic Duos and Simon Says Stamp and Show

I have a card today for this week's CASology #33:  Circle and Dynamic Duos DD#41.  I used PTI colors of Ocean Tides and Aqua Mist and added kraft and white as my neutrals.  My dear friend, Kim, is the Guest Designer at CASology this week, and when I saw her card and she wrote about her Spellbinders dies, I knew just what direction I would head in.

I took several different sizes of spellbinder circle dies and cut out lots of different circles, and then moved them around endless times to get what I thought looked like a random pattern.  I did make small cuts in some of the open circles, so I could intertwine them, and then hid the cut parts under another circle.  I think I read somewhere that curves like lines or something like that, so I used a herringbone embossing folder on the raised panel with all the circles.

My next card is for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge, which is to use "the stamp you love (but don't use)...I chose to use the Hero Arts Starbursts stamp, which was on my wish list for about a year before I bought it.  Since then, it has been sitting in a box.....  I recently got some new colors of Zing embossing powder, and I thought they would be fun with this stamp.  I used Ranger Black Enamel Accents for the centers of the starbursts.
