Tropical Chic with Tea Together

Today, Susan, Buffy and I are celebrating Mother's Day.

I am so blessed to still have my little Mom around,

so that I can visit with her when the urge strikes.

For Mom's day, I had to try a new technique, because

she notices these things!  This is a floating card, using

Press and Seal the Tropical Chic set, 

which will be returning for 2019-20.

I will say that this technique was a challenge for me.

I stamped multiples of the foliage using my Stamparatus

(thank goodness for this product).  I arranged the 

foliage and then applied the Press and Seal.  Then, cut out

the layer, using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and

Stitched Shapes Dies (so the center portion can be used

for another card).   The problem comes when you try to

remove the Press and Seal.  It has a tendency to pull

off the top layer of the foliage, so that I ruined several

images.  I stamped extra foliage and glued it over top.

After making this card, I did a bit of research.

Others suggest that you apply the Press and Peal to

your pants or a towel, several times, to reduce the stickiness.

I haven't tried that yet, but am pretty sure that will enable

me to have more success with this technique!

Anyway, thank you for reading along and now please
