I found the "Recessed Panel" technique card here. I didn't have the same papers as in the original post, so I worked with what I had.
The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock. On top of that I added a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of the beautiful "Whole Lot of Lovely" Decorative Series Paper (DSP). I did use a piece to cover the card front. I am not sure if you would want to cut that piece down, I suppose you could, though it may show though the side. I want to try another one of these and I'll do it with a smaller piece of DSP and see what I see on the sides!
For the front pieces I took a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Pool Party and Whisper White card stock and cut them both at the same time. For the top piece, I marked it on the left at 3/4" and on the right side I marked it at 3". For the bottom part, I marked it at 1-1/8". I cut the two colors at the same time. The 1-1/8" side was cut all the way to the bottom right corner tip. Next I took the Whisper White pieces and I cut 1/8" off the inside edge. I taped the two pieces together. I stamped the words using the "Daisy Delight" set and Memento black ink. I set those two panels in place using Dimensionals.
Next I fussy cut out some flowers and leaves and set them in place on the front. The bottom flower was set in place using Dimensionals on the leaves only. I set that one in place first and then added every thing else around it. And for the final touch I added some green "Glitter Enamel Dots". And that was it. VERY simple to do and a fun technique. I LOVE the looks of this!
Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
