Welcome to the InspireINK Blog Hop for November.This months theme is your favourite product from the Autumn/Winter catalogue.....well what to choose ???
My favourite is the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set especially the holly sprig, I just love the arty sketchy look of it !
While I was browsing Pinterest the other day some 'Floating Frame' cards popped up and I was inspired to try one with this holly stamp.
The idea of this technique is to stamp and cut out some images and attach them randomly to a panel of card and then use a product called press'n'seal to keep them in place while you die cut a central panel out and mount the images in a 3d manner with dimensionals.
Well, that was all too much faff for me so after a trial run I decided to mount the images with dimensionals first and then die cut them...had to snip a few bits but it worked just fine !!
I did faff elsewhere though, as there is no matching die or punch for the holly, after I had coloured them with my blends I fussy cut them by hand.
The end result is not one but two rather classy cards. I also used the sentiment from the stamp set.
And of course a nice insert panel..
Not a quick card to make but worth the effort I think. Why not give this technique a go yourself ?
Thanks for joining me today please hop around and have a look at the other inspiring projects.
Happy Stamping
