Floating Panel Card

Today’s card is another that I made using a tutorial I purchased from Elizabeth Shannon. I believe that this is only available for demonstrators to purchase but please check with Elizabeth. This week has all been about the Tropical Oasis Product Suite, so I wanted today’s card to use some of those products. I cut my card base from Thick Very Vanilla card and added Balmy Blue card which I embossed using the Coastal Weave 3d Embossing Folder. I cut my “floating” panel from Balmy Blue card with a layer of Very Vanilla card. Before attaching the panel to the card front using dimensionals, I stamped the greeting from the Timeless Tropical stamp set onto the inside of the card using Stazon Saddle Brown ink. To create the flowers and leaves, I stamped the images from the Timeless Tropical stamp set onto Shimmery White card using Stazon Saddle Brown ink.
I used an Aqua Painter and Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green ink to colour the flowers and leaves. It takes a while for these to dry and you need to be patient (or you could use your heat gun to hurry the process). I actually left mine overnight to make sure they were completely dry. I cut out all the images using the co-ordinating In The Tropics Dies before attaching the flowers and leaves to the “floating” panel using dimensionals under the last frangipani flower. I also added a small Basic Rhinestone to the centre of each of the flowers.
This style of card is actually very simple to make. You don’t need a lot of product or card and just about any stamp set would work.
Bye for now,
Kris
