Supplies: stamp (digital image from Two for Tuesday); ink (Versamark with chalkds, BIC Mark-Its); paper (The Paper Company); MS Gothic Arches corner punch; Kassie's Brocade CB embossing folder; improvised glimmer mist; dimensional pearl paint.When I got this Martha Stewart punch on clearance (Gothic Arches??), I started playing around with it and came up with these lacy pieces. Here's how I put this card together:
First of all, I made a piece like this, using Becca's right angle punching technique. I forgot to take a picture of it before I cut it in half, so just pretend it's not already cut in half. :)
Then I made four small "medallions" with the same punch, using the first part of Becca's right angle punching technique. Then I cut the larger piece in half lengthwise:
To piece the lacy part behind the image, I first placed those cut halves where I wanted them. I tried to eyeball it to give me enough room to place medallions between them and look almost seamless:
Then I added a medallion to the top and bottom of the cut-out (still behind the actual image), as indicated by the arrows:
Lastly, I added the remaining two medallions to the sides (this time overlapping the front of the image), popping them up on dimensionals:
I really liked the effect!

Love how you printed the image on paper with a light script in the background. AND is that blue paper naturally sparkly or did you add some glitter?
Oh yes, the sparkle. Well, it was supposed to be done with a glimmer mist equivalent. Unfortunately, the tip is clogged on the spray bottle, so I just used a foam brush and brushed on the shimmer. It made the paper warp just a little, but once it's stuck down you really can't tell.
