You Spin Me Round

Here's my card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  As soon as I saw the layout, the record idea came to my mind and the Greatest Hits stamp set from SugarPea Designs was perfect for bringing my vision to paper!

I used a large circle die and black cardstock to create my record album.  I adhered the rounded piece to a card base covered with a multicolored chevron patterned paper panel, trimming the edges of the black panel so they were even with the edges of the cardfront.  For the record album's "label," I cut a second smaller circle from red cardstock and punched a hole in it before adhering it to the black panel and trimming down the edge.  The "you spin me round like a record" sentiment was positioned on a clear block to match the curve of the rounded piece, then stamped in white pigment ink. I heat embossed the text in white so it would really pop against the black background. I thought about adding some enamel dots as an accent, but in the end, kept the design clean and simple.
