Directions:

1)  Stamp lady image, color and trim out-set aside

2)  Make A2 base from Yam, layer black & yam & strip of safari chic
on left side.  Add strip of rickrack on right side of safari chic with glue dots.

3)  Cut circle from white scrap with small standard circle die and circle from
black cardstock scrap with large standard circle die, layer white over black.

4)  Adhere circles together and to card front.  Affix girl image in center of
circles with dimensional tape.

*TIP*  Make-Your-Own Glue Dots Technique
(Supplies for Glue Dots)

Aleene's Tack-It-Over-And-Over Glue
Wax paper or Xyron release paper

Directions:

1)  Squeeze amounts of glue onto non-stick paper (a drop for tiny dots or more for bigger ones).

2)  Allow to dry overnight before using.

*These will be repositionable, will not harm paper and best of all:  you can make them any size you choose.
IMO there are times I need a small glue dot and have to settle for the wide flat ones, now I can make glue dots as tiny as I need!
