Free-form waves using the Floating Technique


We made this gorgeous 'wave' card at a Team meeting last month.  I used the Waves of Inspiration bundle and a Blending Brush for the sky. 

The colors are Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point and White.  See those gorgeous gems?  They're called Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels and there are 168 in a package for just $6.50!  See them here. 

I had a bunch of curvy foil pieces left over after die-cutting a bunch of these waves from the two blue colors in the Blue Foil paper seen here.  I challenged myself to use them and came up with a free-form wave using the Floating Technique.  

I adhered various die-cut foil pieces to a Window Sheet using Multipurpose liquid glue and added them to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.  This take a bit of patience as you can imagine!    

Here are some tips to achieve this:

  • It's best if you start at the bottom and add just a few pieces. Let it set to dry. 
  • Adding a weight over them while they dry helps keep them flat. The foil likes to curl up.
  • Next form the top of the wave.  I used one of the long curved pieces for this.  
  • Add just a few pieces at a time and let them dry.  They slide easily!
  • Fill in the center of the wave a few at a time. Again, add weight over it all to set & dry.  
  • Trim off the sides of the Window sheet at 4" to fit the White layer. I fussy cut the top to match the foil wave.  
  • I adhered it to the textured 'Bark 3D' White 4" X 5 1/4" piece of CS with mini dimensionals.  

This card is part of my Waves of Inspiration tutorial and video with 11 projects!  This is available to anyone who purchases the Waves of the Ocean Collection from me or purchases my Waves of Inspiration kit to go.

  • Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!


    I created this card for an online swap I participated in.  I love to join card swaps!  I can create one card and make multiples of it.  Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of!  Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style.  Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!  

    I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper.  I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card.  They can be very easy on the eye.  

    I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine.  The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers. 

    The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog.  If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now.  This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too! 

    In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!

  • Nature’s Harvest & Harvest Meadow Sneak Peak!


    Here's a sneak peak of a few products from the upcoming 2021 Holiday Catalog.  

    I used the new bundle called Nature's Harvest and the coordinating Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. From the Annual Catalog I used the two dies called Tailored Tags and Stitched Leaves.  These are going to be one of my 'go to's'!  Click on the photo to see them in my store. 

    The colors here are Cinnamon Cider, White & Soft Succulent. I stamped the flowers in Soft Succulent ink and water-colored them with ink and an aqua-brush.  The die-cut in the bundle cuts it out perfectly.  The greeting is heat embossed with White powder.   

    Measurements:

    • Cinnamon Cider card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", plus a 3/8" X 5 1/4" strip
    • Soft Succulent 1" X 5 1/4" plus a scrap for greeting
    • Harvest Meadow DSP 3" X 5 1/4"

  • Look at these fabulous floral cards!


    Here are a few more of my Flowerbug's Team swap cards for July: 

    First is one made by Paula who featured the Color & Contour Bundle seen here.  She stamped each flower and die-cut it with the Scalloped Contour dies. She also stamped the other flower image for the stem and leaves.  That large scalloped rectangle is also included in this bundle.  There are actually 5 scalloped rectangle in this set! 

    Her colors are Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. The spatter background image is in this set as well.  Her greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tag punch.  

    Next is a pretty card by Marilyn.  She used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.  Her background is from the new Stitched Greenery die seen here.  She also used the Hand-Penned Designer paper and Circles dies.  

    Love this color combination of Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather.  She colored in her floral image with Blends markers.  Love that sparkly Highland Heather ribbon!  

    Lastly is a pretty card made by Roxann featuring Positive Thoughts & the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies.  That wonderful background texture is from the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  

    Her colors feature Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Olive and Soft Sea Foam. There are lots of pretty die-cuts & details on her card!  The greeting is one of my very favorites.  

    I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!
