HACK below 🠗

                     

         

This is a beautiful and unique technique.

You can see the details here in this VIDEO.  

Super cool, super fun, super easy!

Last week I posted this card using this technique.

Came out beautifully!

(keep reading for a great hack!)

On my new card, I only used ONE image, yup that's right!

You DO NOT need 2 images to capture this same beauty!

This is how I did it:

As said in the Video I created 2 identical panels.

But when I was ready to die cut I had a brilliant idea....just cut one and

turn it over before all of those little pieces fall out and add adhesive.

I actually used Bearly Art Glue (my favorite!)

put some glue on each little piece, turned the cut panel back over and

adhered it to a piece of light blue card stock.

Then I added some super thin pieces of foam adhesive strips 

by Scrapbook Adhesives to the back side of the Lattice cut.

Then I simply placed it on to the light blue card stock

fitting it together like a puzzle piece.

Same effect (this is not glued down as yet)

And Wha La

Easy Peasy!

I am in LOVE with this technique!

Could be more creations coming, please don't get bored!

Thanks for coming by!
