Susie is our hostess this week for Teapot Tuesday: her MMTPT560 Say it with Flowers challenge can be found be clicking the link, along with Caterina's address.
I thought this was a good challenge for adding an extra card to my stash, which is getting very low. I bought a card magazine recently, something I rarely do, and wanted to try this technique. It takes a lot of time, but it's a two-for-the-price-of-one, as I still have the circle to make into another card.
Stamp and die-cut (I fussy cut, it's faster!) images and lay them over a piece of card slightly bigger than your card front. Lay them quite close together without too many gaps. Using something like Press n Seal, lift them all up in this position. Lay the Press n Seal on a cutting mat with the outer die and whatever shape you want for the inner frame, and run through the Big Shot.
Now the tedious bit - apply foam tape/squares to the back of every little piece. Then put your card on top and turn over. If everything has gone well, all the bits are still in position and you have all those little die-cut elements popped up and an aperture in the centre. I didn't plan ahead and probably cut my aperture too big, it was hard then to find a sentiment big enough to fit. Lesson learned. I'll be along tomorrow or Thursday with whatever I make with the centre circle.

I'm so glad that you told us how you did this, because I was trying to figure it out and had just concluded "magic". I have got to try this because it is so cool!

so all those pieces are popped up and that's why I see shadows? I'll have to re-read your method, not sure i followed it. I just love those stamps, so cool and sort of funky.

Gasp! Sabrina, this card is so stunning on so many levels that I am not sure where to begin. This bg is ah-mazing and really draws your eye right to this fabulous encouraging verse. Thank you for your excellent directions Sabrina on how you created this bg. I am putting your glorious card right into my favs for a day when I am feeling brave and may want to try this wonderful technique. Caterina is going to do cartwheels (maybe virtual ones) when she sees this gorgeous card! Wow! ~Karen.
