Tales Ftom the Orient

Today I have made this card using printouts from the Debbi Moore Oriental Digital Collection.

This is how I made it.

I started with an A5 card blank. I made this one using a piece of A4 card folded in half.

I cut two matching pieces from the backing paper and stuck them in place like this.

Then I stuck the first layer of decoupage in place like this. You can use foam pads here if you wish but I prefer to put the first layer down flat.

Add foam pads to the next layer. You may think this is overkill but I don't want the image to collapse over time so make sure it is well supported.

Carefully line up the image and stick in place like this.

Repeat this process with the remaining pieces. Start with the largest and end with the smallest.

You will end up with a beautiful 3D image like this 

I finished the front of the card with some pretty faux gems.

This design also has a matching insert. Simply fold it in half like this.

Add some adhesive to the front side of the insert. Line it up inside the card. Fold the card in  half press firmly to stick the insert in place.

Because you put the adhesive on the front of the insert it will give a very professional look when you open your card. 

I hope ypu enjoyed this tutorial.

Until next time

Happy Crafting.
