Our current Team creative challenge for my Flowerbug's group is to make a card using the Floating Technique. It's a fun technique that uses a window sheet or transparency.
Here are some of mine I shared on a recent Facebook Live video you can see here.
This first one features Black & White with a 'pop' of color – Magenta Madness in this case. Magenta Madness is retiring next week!
I used the Dandy Wishes dies and the Layering Circles dies here. I adhered a bunch of strips of the All Together designer paper to a window sheet, leaving space between them. I cut it out with the largest circle in the set and popped it up on a Gingham textured White layer.
I added die-cuts from the neat Dandy Wishes dies and a heat embossed image from the Garden Wishes stamp set. This set is in a bundle with the Dandy Wishes dies and on sale in March! See it here.
This next card features Misty Moonlight and the Abstract Beauty DSP. I cut the feathers from this pretty DSP that has touches of Gold on it using the Iconic dies seen here.
For this card the window sheet is a simple rectangle. After adding the feathers I trimmed off the excess and added it to the card with mini dimensionals.
Other details:
- the greeting die-cuts are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.
- The textured White layer is done with the Bark 3D embossing folder.
- That strip of gold & white strips is also from the Abstract Beauty DSP.
- Colors are Gold, White, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy
Next is a card done in purples – Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape.
Details:
- Layering Circle & Amazing Thanks dies
- Greeting stamped from Special Moments SAB set
- Texture is Hive 3D folder seen here
- Basic Rhinestone jewels were colored purple with Blends markers
This next sample features the Artistic dies along with the SAB Simply Marbelous DSP.
Colors are Basic Gray, White & Black; very monochromatic. The greeting is from Friendly Hello SAB set, heat embossed.
Tip; to adhere the finely cut die-cut pieces I used our Adhesive Sheets seen here. They're the best solution for these types of die-cuts.
You can see how I achieved these cards on the link below; just click on the photo to watch.
