When I decided to play with the Floating Strips or Floating Elements technique for my newest video here, I had several pieces of lovely paper from Paper Wishes with Made To Surprise border dies cut, folded and tucked that I demoed in last week's video sitting here too pretty to waste. I didn't want to cover the center or the pretty flowers so I added some butterflies both die cut and punched made with the technique.
My next two cards both feature heart dies (torn edge and slimline) from Dies...to Die For and background pinpoint burst plates from Memory Box. The gorgeous love die is from Quietfire Designs and the "Mr. & Mrs." dies are from Honey Bee Stamps.
Another reason I like trying different ideas like this Floating Strips technique is because it adds so much interest to an otherwise boring card. I simply cut a Penny Black Masterpieces Made Simple image into the strips on acetate and raised it over a wavy wonky rectangle cut out with a Kat Scrappiness die. The sentiment is a new one from Sue Wilson and Creative Expressions.
I had so much fun playing with this technique and making the cards I share in the new video here. I hope you will watch it and then have a play yourself!
