Group of Seven Cardmakers - This month they are teaching and showcasing cards using a technique called Floating Frames. You get a bonus card when you use this technique. I had to read and re-read the instructions and watch the video. Thankfully I read Loll's tip in addition. After I had watercolored my images I set them aside and stamped the same flowers but didn't watercolor those. I'm happy I tried the technique out first on the non watercolored flowers. Mine don't exactly look like they are floating but I at least attempted the technique and was still happy with the outcome.

House Mouse - Umbrella Shade 
MFT Banner Flag die
Pink Ink - Beachy Keen stamp
ProvoCraft Cuttlebug - From the Sea die set (I used the sand dollar only) Neglected
Sizzix or Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder- 
I embossed the scene which I've done many times before and for some reason I didn't like the way it turned out this time. So, I took my bone folder and tried to smooth it out some. Now, the picture makes it looks like the EF is inverted. Sheesh! Okay, it's not that bad.

As You Like It Challenge - Feminine or Masculine Theme? Why?  Because there are a much easier make for me to create. I struggle with all the male birthdays and Father's day in my life. They never complain but a cute animal or flowers is just not their thing. 3/7
