Peeking Through the Leafy Frame

Uncategorized

Hi, Sue here today! Have you been amazed by all the creative projects during the blog blitz? I know I have!

When I saw the Leafy Frame Die and Kitty Cat Face Die, I knew I wanted to pair them to create a little spooky scene with the kitty peaking out amidst a dark background.

I inked up by background with Distress Inks in different shades of blue and flicked and sprayed some Perfect Pearls on top.

I added double sided adhesive to card stock and die cut the cat face from it. I temporarily placed the negative piece on the background and glued the cat face die cuts back into place (like a puzzle) and removed the negative piece. I took off the backing paper from the face pieces and used gilding flakes (metal foil) on the exposed adhesive.

I cut two pieces of the Leafy Frame. One out of black vellum and one from gray card stock and layered them with foam tape for added depth.

I made another card, this time using gold gilding flakes. I die cut two Leafy Frames again, this time from gold and gray card stock and I offset the frames slightly so the gold frame would be more visible.

I love how these cards turned out. I think for my next one I'll use some black fun flock for the cat.

For your chance to win the Leafy Frame, please leave a comment on this post.

  55. That frame works so well with the cat. Love the way you used the metallic leafing on the cat. Really great cards! Thanks for the inspiration!

  57. I like this, I haven’t seen this technique before, looking forward to having a go

  60. This lovely and complexly designed frame is a knock out (no lame pun intended)! But Sue, doubling up the frame and using foam tape, takes this die to heavenly places. I’m really loving all the die image combinations of positive/negative spaces with embossed areas thrown in…all in one die. It is a very classy look.

  87. Love this frame. Shows off so many pretty and delicate little hidden treasures.
