Raised Squares Cards

 This is an old but fun technique - raising parts of a card that are die cut. 

I chose a rectangle background die to do this. It has stitched details along the inner lines and it cuts twelve small squares. 

I stamped and stencilled the floral image on white cardstock and then die cut it with the frame die. The base fame was adhered to dark cardstock and I raised each of the squares with foam tape. A hot foiled sentiment was placed across the bottom and I also added some silver gems. 

I thought I would try this using a geometric stencilled image. Once the image was inked, I did the same die cutting and adhered the squares with foam tape. I placed the frame on white cardstock and then a teal base. A gold foiled sentiment was placed in the centre with some gems around it. I was thinking how that second card could really be made to play with your brain by rotating some of the pieces... 

Enjoy,
