We made these gorgeous cards at a class in April using the Floating Frame technique. With this technique you get two for one! After stamping and coloring your flowers, they are die cut and placed on your cardstock close together, completely covering it. (Dry the ink with a Heat Tool to set it and prevent it from sticking too tightly to the plastic wrap and peeling off.) Press a piece of Press 'N Seal plastic wrap firmly over the flowers, especially in between the images. Run through die cutting machine to cut out desired shape in the center. Cut off any flowers that hang over the edge of the cardstock and carefully peel off the cardstock. Generously place Dimensionals on the flowers and leaves. Adhere to card front and gently peel off the plastic wrap. Stamp sentiment in the opening.
Use the center portion that you cut out to create a second card with a sweet frame around it! Two for one!
I used the retired Petal Palette and Petals & More Thinlits for the flowers on this card, but you can use any floral images that you can group together. The sentiments used are from Strong and Beautiful (#148732) an Itty Bitty Birthdays (#148618). Choose your favorite Stampin' Blends marker colors to create the look you desire.
Thanks to Jennifer McGuire for her inspiration to create these beautiful cards!
