Oh my goodness the MIX gallery is filled with gorgeous flowers from the wonderful technique shared by Lydia!!! But, honestly, when I saw the word circle, I thought of this stamp about bubble wrap that I have not used for a card. So I hope it's okay.
I sprayed the tag with my own little mix of the wild plum and alcohol for the pink. In the little mister I think it was four or five drops of ink, then filled with regular rubbing alcohol. Then I sprayed the frozen lake color. I dried and then sponged the edges with the scatered straw.
Nest I got the bubble wrap out and covered a small section with the white acrylic paint and added to the tag, leaving room for the sentiment.
I tried to make a little of a ruffle edge with some more bubble wrap The ink on the right, is the inside of the card, So it is like a half- front. Does that make sense? Anyway, it has been so FUN to play along, I have missed this and ALL of you more than I can say!!!

Wow! Kathleen, this is SO much fun!
LOVE bubble wrap. I cut the bubble wrapped padded envelopes into 4 x 5.25 rectangles to mail cards with bling on 'em. Very lightweight, and keeps the pearls from poking through the envie.

Fabulous, Kathleen. I love how you used the bubble wrap for the mix challenge. Yes, I understand about your half front card. I saw a card in the store recently made just that way and thought I need to try that. Yours is great. And, what a fun sentiment and so true.
