I saw a card on Lisa Curcio's page of a Floating Image Card, and since I had a special friend having a birthday I decided to try to create one. It really was not difficult, just lots of pieces. But I love the outcome:
It's an interesting fold; the sides can fold behind or over the little card in the middle, but it's really just one piece (with a card added to the middle).
I chose to use one of my favorite stamp/die bundles, Layers of Beauty. Stamping the main image, I then used the masks to isolate just one single rose with some leaves, and colored it with Blending Brushes and inks. I then used the coordinating dies to cut it out, along with a few extra leaves.
I adhered some of the Floral Delight designer series paper to the side panels, and stamped a few of the single flower stamps from the set, coloring them with Blends.
The card can be folded to fit into a regular envelope:
The panels can also be folded to the back, but I wanted a little protection for my popped up rose.
I still think the Layers of Beauty bundle is one of the most beautiful floral images I have ever worked with; I marvel each time I remove the mask at how gorgeous the flowers are!
Layers of Beauty will be carried over to the upcoming 2025-26 Annual Catalog; however the stamps, dies and masks will no longer be sold as a bundle with 10% savings. So you may want to pick it up now while you can still save!
