This time I made a floating element, a colorful heart shape, with an inlaid black flower.
It's a very lovely technique, and quite simple, but you do need to run the acetate sheet many times throw the die cutting machine.
I added some glittery orange enamel dots, and a die cut sentiment in black.
For the desgin, I followed the sketch from Freshtly Made Sketches #563, given by Jen B:
I die cut a doily from a black cardstock, and topped it with some circular die cut in kraft. I adhered it to the white panel, with some of the doily going out of the edge, and cut the excess.
On top of it I adhered the stamped butterfly with foam tape and added a glittery copper enamel dot in the middle.
I stamped the sentiment (Mazal Tov in Hebrew) in sage, and added some more glittery copper enamel dots.
The white panel was double matted with matching colors cardstocks and adhered to the white basis.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your comments very much.
I adhered the colorful scraps on a scrap of a white cardstock, this time not lining them up, for more interest.
The colorful panel was adhered to the edge of the kraft basis with foam tape.
I die cut the sentiment 3 times for some dimensional, and adhered to the kraft basis.
I die cut a branch with leaves (SSS Detailed Leaf Cluster die) from a textured white carstock, and adhered it to the kraft basis, partialy under the colorful stripes.

For the 1st card, I trimmed stripes, 1/4" each, in blue and green tones, and adhered them to a white cardstock.
I trimmed the excess (which provided a nice colored stripes for the 2nd card), and double matted it with black and gold cardstocks.
I die cut the leaves from a white cardstock scrap, leaving some of the inside die cuts, to make it more interesting, and adhered it to the colored panel.
I used more scraps on the back of the panel, for some dimension, instead of using foam tape, and adhered it to the white basis.
I adhered the sentiment sticker (which says, in Hebrew 'Quick Recovery').
Again I used a sticker for my sentiment, and added some star stickers too.

It's a great technique and I'm sure I'll be using it more in the future.
I used solid dark blue cardstock, but stamping with the white pigment ink gave it a pale bluish tone, and made the blue ink stand out.
For outlining the flowers and leaves, I traced the edges with an embossing brush, and so I did inside the flowers, and then heat embossed with white ep.
The white outlines, along with the white matting make the whole design just pop up.
I added some glitter silver enmael dots as an extra accent.
Here're some close ups to showcase the different blue tones:

Finally, I decided to go for a flower and leaves. I stmped the sketch flower in dark brown on a pale grayish green cardstock, and die cut it (Papertrey Ink Pop Up Florals).
I die cut a stitched hexagon shape and run it with a pierced leaves die. I matted the hexagon with dark brown cardstock.
I adhered the flower on top of the white hexagon, using some foam tape for dimention. I stackec lots of sprigs and leaves in brown and the two shades of green under the flower, and added a glitter dark brown enamel dot in the middle.
I die cut the sentiment in green and brown and adhrered a little overlapping each other, as if there's a shaddow.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Your comments are much appreciated.
I used MFT 'More Brilliant Butterflies' stamps, with pale blue and dark blue inks. I added an oragne glitter enmal dot in the middle of the butterfly.
For the background I die cut a stitched square and inked an embossing folder with orange ink, and embossed the square, and matted it with another stitched sqaure, using dark blue cs.
The butterfly was adhered using foam tape, and so was the blue square.
A sentiment stamped in dark blue ink on the kraft background.
I also made a matching envelope. On the front I stamped the sketched butterfly in dark blue, and the back was embossed with the same embossing folder I used for the orange background.

The sentiment was stamped in red, as I thought it was the best with the kraft background. It says, in Hebrew: Mazal Tov, which can be used for many occasoions.
I matted the panel with yeallow cs to bring some more light, and adhered it to the kraft basis.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Your comments are much appreciated.
I like the way the liitle' happy' stamping is overlapping the big' BIRTHDAY' one, and I like the ombre in the blues.
I used Lindy's embossing powder in silver to create the two lines, framing the sentiment, and matted the panel on a black cardstock.
