This technique has a few different names: Floating Strips, Floating Elements or Floating Circle Technique. I've also seen it done a few different ways: 

• strips of different colors of cardstock popped up on a diecut circle, with strips of DSP adhered to vellum popped up on card front
• strips of DSP adhere to vellum, some random patterns, some sequential, 
• some floating elements on rectangles and some on circles
• strips of DSP placed sequentially on acetate popped up on card front

While reading about different variations, I decided to try using window sheets and a piece of DSP cut into strips and arranged sequentially so that you see the original design in the DSP. I got ideas and inspiration from Jessica Urrutia, Lorraine Cich, Josanna Cauler and Deb Smeak.
