Framed background map floral support card ~ tutorial

 Hi there.  For Technique Time at Unity, I show a way to make a framed background with a map and a flower accent.  This is a card for support or encouragement.

Sentiment:  
I'm here and I will always be here for you.

For this card, I used layers to make the framed background, sentiment, flower and flag elements.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for creating this framed background card.  To begin, stamp the map background onto color cardstock.  Also, stamp the flower and the sentiment on white.  Next, trim or die-cut the map to make a background.  I chose to use a portion of the larger map stamp and a portion of the floral stamp for this card.  Then, trim or die-cut the sentiment panel, the frame layer and the flags.  Next, color in the flower section that you want to use on the card.  I used Copic markers for color, but any will do.  Then, fussy cut (cut out) the flower to use as an accent.  Finally, to finish, arrange and layer everything.

I made a quick video tutorial showing the process for this project.
