Floating Frames

 Hello again,


We are having a late heatwave here in New South Wales, this week has been 27C to 30C a little too hot for me. I am again joining the lovely ladies over at Group of Seven Cardmakers this month's technique is Floating Frames I chose some lovely new stamps for my Christmas present from Paper Rose called Sketchy Rose, I stamped them in Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured them with Faber-Castell coloured pencils before die cutting them.

I rolled up pieces of washi tape (sticky side out) to temporarily position the flowers over a 12x17.2cm piece of white card stock.  I added foam circles to the backs and replaced each flower, before die cutting the hexagon from the centre adding the first piece to a card blank covered with black paper.  



The second card uses the die cut hexagon, I have added an Inkylicious sentiment which I won from Snippet's Playground on a snippet of black paper. Adding some clear (no silver backing) flat backed gems, packet says it is meant to be 'shaker mix' also from Paper Rose. The black layer behind the die cut was traced and cut by scissors.

The two cards together

What I used:
Paper Rose 'Sketchy Roses' stamp and die
White A4 cardstock
Faber-Castell coloured pencils
Memento Tuxedo black ink
Clear embossing ink
Gold and white embossing powder
Inkylicious sentiment
Kaisercraft Hexagon nesting die
Kaisercraft Roses embossing folder
MFT Happy die
Scraps of black and gold papers
Magazine freebie stamp 'birthday' and butterfly die
Flourish of gems clear silver 
Adhesives: Foam dots, Double sided adhesive, pva glue
Other: Stanley knife, scissors, steel rule, heat gun.

I would like to enter these cards in:

Such pretty cards! The black matting really makes a dramatic background for the white embossed layer and lovely colors. Hexagons are a favorite shape of mine. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's March Challenge.
