Mixed Up Saturday

 

Good Saturday Morning Ladies,

I hope that the weather is being kind to you today,  we have a very windy day,  its cloudy too but currently dry, which is a good thing as we have quite a list of jobs to do both indoors and out.

What do you all have planned this weekend?

I thought I would share another card technique with you, Sonia kindly suggested this one......

Floating Card Technique 

For the floating panel you need a piece of acetate that measures around 3 x 3 inch, although you can use any shape for this technique.  

Once you have chosen your colour scheme cut some strips of card varying widths (but need to be long enough to cover your panel.  Mine are 1/2 or 1/4 inch and a couple of thin strips. 

Add double sided tape to the back of your strips,  (wet glue would be a bit messy on the acetate )

Now stick your strips to your acetate leaving gaps between the strips as this is what gives the 'floating' look.

Once your strips are stuck down you can die cut your piece to your desired shape.  I wanted a circle this one is around 2 3/4 inch.

Add some foam tape to the back of the floating panel (making sure none shows on front)

I always add a little wet glue to my foam pads for extra security and it helps if you need to reposition!

Choose your card base and matt a patterned paper, this one matches the colours I have used on the floating panel  

Add your front panel

Adhere your floating panel 

Choose your embellishment and glue into place

Then its time for finishing touches, I added a sentiment and a twine bow.

I hope that's all clear enough, please ask if you need any further help.  xxx
