Decoupage is very pretty but can be fiddly, so why not go for the easy option instead.
This is much easier to achieve, especially if you're scissor challenged...like me.
All the cutting out is boring for me so I choose the easy route whenever I can.
This technique is using ever smaller layers to build up your design.
You could choose a square or circle, perhaps you want to be a bit more adventurous and try octagon or diamond shapes.
To start my project, I printed my image from a CD, and there are many good ones on the market.
This lady is from "My Craft Studio" CD, and she has many lovely friends on the same CD.
This effect has been achieved with
Spellbinders dies.
I have printed out my chosen image seven times to give identical sized pieces.
(You can print out as many layers as you want to work with...you may choose to work with just 3or4 instead...the choice is yours)
Keep one full image as your base layer.
I have used the Mega Labels die, and there are six individual dies in the set.
Each one of the dies has been used to give me ever smaller sections.
Please don't throw away what you have left, because with this we can make an
Invertage Card
Once you have all the pieces cut out, then ink the edges with a pad that matches your color scheme.
This just helps to define the edges of each layer.
Then with silicone, foam pads or Pinflair Glue Gel layer the panels together, onto your base image.
This will add the height to your card.
Match up the image on each layer carefully.
Finish the card with any
embellishments
you have in your "stash" and make the card as pretty or sophisticated as you wish.
