Score 6 lines 1/4" apart and adhere Scor-tape along the lines.

Starting from the bottom, remove the Scor-Tape backing and adhere one of the squares.

Continue removing the backing and adhering the squares until all 6 are in place.

To create the waterfall effect, cut cardstock 2 1/4" x 11".

Cut 6 pieces of pattern paper 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".

Cut 6 pieces of cardstock 2 1/4" x 2 1/4.

Corner round the bottom edges and adhere together.

Adhere the waterfall to the card base, being sure to line the tap with the bottom edge.

Decorate the squares as desired with stamps and die cuts (preferably before adhering everything together)!!!

If you pull on the tab, the waterfall panels move.

To create the floral closure, cut 2 strips of cardstock 4" x 1".

Add pattern paper, then score 1/2" from each edge.

Slip behind the waterfall elements and fold down.

Die cut circles and adhere a flower with a brad.

Place a velcro dot behind the circle and align to the strips

Eclipse Card Technique

Today's project showcases the Eclipse Technique. Eclipse technique is when you die cut a word or a shape on a background panel, then raise this die cut up slightly with foam or layered die cuts. I hope you like it. 

The stamp I used is the I Brake For Stamps License Plate Vintage Style Alphabet Rubber Stamp. This is an unmounted red rubber stamp that comes in two strips of letters and icons. You have an option to cut the letters apart or keep it together. I did not cut my stamps apart.

I repeatedly stamped the letters on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" watercolor paper with a black watercolor friendly pigment ink. I painted the letters with different colors of water-based markers. I heat set the water-colored panel to speed dry it. 

Here comes the fun part. I die cut a sentiment on the panel making sure I kept every piece of the die cuts.

I adhered tape to the back of the opening created by the sentiment die. Using a double adhesive tape will be even better.

I die cut the word on brown cardstock three more times. I applied dots of glue to the back of one of the word die cuts, then pieced this on the opening of the water colored panel. 

I adhered the drop out pieces to the opening of the letters. It already looks good at this point, right? You can actually stop here to make this into an inlay card.

Since I am making this card into an eclipse card, I adhered the other two pieces of sentiment die cuts over the piece that is pieced in the panel to build layers. I adhered the sentiment die cut from the water-colored panel on the top. 

It is kind of difficult to see the raised sentiment on the first photo but this is what makes this card magical. The sentiment is hidden and you only figure out that there is a sentiment once you run your fingers over the panel and/or tilt the card. 

I hope you like today's project.
