Yes I know this is a very different card for me to post, however this is for a challenge I do with my goofy CCEE friends over at SCS. Our challenge today was to create a card that features a photo. The photo could be from a magazine or your I had taken as long as there was a photo on it.
I am hoping that I have done something different that what the others would do ... I do like the effect of this technique.
To create this look I used my rectangle acrylic blocks from Stylish Images (Aust) .... as these are clear and also thick you can see exactly where to place them on your photo to get the look you are after and also because they are thick I can use my craft knife directly around the rectangles.
I started in the centre placing the smallest rectangle I wanted to use over the image which is the feature so I didn't lose any of the polar bear and then just kept cutting out each rectangle a bigger size till I got to the end of the photo. Before I started cutting though I did run the photo through my xyron to save trying to adhere those narrow strips later.
To attach to my card .... I started with the centre piece .... then placed the 2nd piece around without removing the adhesive ... this piece is just there so I can get the correct placement for the 3rd piece ...... continue placing the pieces alternating between removing adhesive and not ... when all the photo is down ... remove the pieces without the adhesive so that you can see the black card in between each piece.
I then layered this to my wild wasabi, river rock and hunter green card.
To finish off the card I added some snowflakes to two of the corners. And can you believe it ..... NO STAMPING!!!!!

Wow Frances, what a great technique, and awesome card, bet it looks even Better in real life.
I love it. And just want to say all your cards were rocking this week-end, girl you got talent.
I couldn't play this week-end cause I was busy, but I really don't think I could have made a card in such a short time.
It takes me hours to make mine.

Frances, this looks really neat -- I love the rectangles and the space inbetween the frames! Where are your six buttons like mothermark's? hahaha
I have to say it....I'm picky. He's not a panda bear, he's a Polar Bear. Very cute card!
