Majestic Flip Its

The Challenge in At Joan's Gardens this week is to create a card using a yellow, black and white color scheme, use a frame, and  something springy.  This is a black card Cut with the Sizzix #658702 Flip-It Card die.  The frame is created by the rotating center, and I covered the center area with yellow paper.  The front side is embossed with Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix embossing folder #657846 using the bubble folder, frame for the inside uses the honeycomb which is in the same set.  A flower hand cut from white paper, edge-inked, yellow and stamped black is underneath the same stamp (unknown manufacturer--it's a dollar-bin stamp) stamped white on vellum and then heat embossed with iridescent ice (SU). A matching flower is on the reverse of the flip-out.  The Flower is mounted on top of Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die-D-Lites, Fantastic Flourish 2 (S2-009).  All these products are available at Joan's Gardens.  The card is edged with gold edged white diamonds and accented with a white gelpen and pearls.  The centers are made with a McGill punch (I think) that I got several years ago at Joan's Gardens.  This card finishes five inches square, and was a LOT of fun to do.  Next card I make with this will be white, keep the white center flip-out, and then cover the edges of the card with decorator paper.  It's a GREAT die, with lots of possibilities.
