Framed Flowers
1. Cover a plain
white A2 card base with lavender card stock.
2. Sponge the edges
with purple Distressed Ink.
3. Cut a frame using one of the Matting Basics dies that is
slightly (about ½ inch) smaller than the card front and one
of Spellbinders Label 29 dies. Center the label
die inside the mat die and tape the dies in position, cut and
emboss.
Emboss with
rubber mat.
To create a 3-D
effect I attach the flat part of cut up paper egg cartons to the back of
the frame.
4. Using white card
stock, die cut Memory Box’s Bella Bouquet.
I had to cut
part of the die
cut off to get it to fit inside of the frame.
5. Place the flower
die cut on a coordinating piece. In this
case I have used
an alcohol ink
technique called Polished Stone, done on glossy card stock
for a background
that does not overpower the die cut and provides
good contrast.
6. Cut the
coordinating piece slightly smaller than the frame and attach
to the back of
the frame.
7. Center the framed
layers on the card base and attach.
8. Lay the Memory Box
flower die cut inside the frame. I had
to cut apart
the die cut to
get it to look right. When you are
satisfied with the look,
attach the die
cut to the background.
9. Embellish the
lower right hand corner with three shiny bling pieces.
