Getting Technique-y

Okay, so I got a little inspired by a card that Jill Olsen, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator extraordinaire, sent in her e-mail to those of us in her downline.  It was really a cool idea with Punched Circles adhered to a white background and run through the Big Shot with an embossing folder.  It's a technique I had completely forgotten about and had to try my own version of it.  Thanks Jill for the inspiration.  Here are two of my takes on this great idea.  The first is my own imitation of Jill's card using the supplies I had on hand.  The second is the Hanukkah version.  The flames for the candles are punched using the Merry Minis Punch Pack from the Holiday Catalog.  The TIEF is the Chevron folder, that super-popular pattern.  Hope you enjoy them!
