Floating Dress

Isn’t this fun?  Karen Burniston designed these framelits for Stampin Up and she shared this idea at UStamp with Dawn and Friends Big Shot Roundup.  I couldn’t wait to try it! 

The dress is suspended from the opening in the card – too cute!  (And hard to photograph!)

I used Wonderful Mother on the inside because I really like the sentiment. 

Here’s a picture of what the dress looks like floating/spinning/hanging from the card.

Supplies
Stamp Sets – Artistic Etchings, Wonderful Mother, Music Notes wheel
card stock – Co’ordinations Pool Party, Midnight Muse, Comfort Cafe DSP
Ink – Pool Party, Midnight Muse, Cajun Craze
Etc – SU Pop N Cut base, Dress Up Framelits, Label Framelits and Floral Framelits, sanding block, Little Leaves Sizzlit

I have created quite a mess this morning and have got to put some things away before I do anything else!  There is not an inch of space left to stamp!  Hugs, Fran

Artistic Etchings meets Beau Chateau

How do I explain this card?  Well if you want to goof around with lots of different things – this one’s for you!



I used the Lattice Die to make a monochromatic design on the right by simply adhering the pieces to the card.  The main image was stamped in different colors and then embossed with the Designer Frames rectangle and cut out.  Then I added a few details –



Tie the seam binding in a bow and then carefully pull a thread from each side to create the ruffle.  When I got the gathering to look like I wanted, I added a drop of Crystal Effects on the end to keep it from unraveling.

Stamp Set – Artistic Etchings
card stock – Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette, Beau Chateau DSP
Ink – Soft Suede, Marina Mist, Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso
Etc – Vanilla seam binding, pearls, Designer Frames embossing folder, Big Shot Lattice die, Scallop edge punch, spritzer

It certainly became of playground for “stuff!”  Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran
