IC1047 - I saw this sticker book and the layout of its images and title reminded me of a technique called "floating frame" so I was inspired to use it for this card.
Detailed instructions are in .
I don't buy many stamp and die cut sets but just happened to have bought this one recently. I stamped the image twice on watercolour paper and coloured it with watercolour paints, then die cut it with the matching die. I added foam tape to the back and arranged the two die cuts on opposite corners of my focal panel piece of cs. I trimmed off the parts hanging over the edges. From those extra parts, I chose bits of them that would fill in the gaps around the edges between the two pieces I'd already stuck down. I used one of the sentiments from the same stamp set and its matching die and glued that to the centre.
I really like the final effect - the die cuts really do look like they are floating. But I found it took a long time to make this card so if you're looking for a quick technique, this wouldn't be it. If I had more stamp / matching die sets, I might try it again, but not if I had to fussy cut images for it!
