Hey everyone!

Steph here! Today I’m sharing some inspiration on how to give your stamping a fun 3-D decoupage effect!

I’ve made a couple of 3-D decoupage effect cards before- see my card below with Tiny Townie Bonnie Loves Bows

This time I’m using Uptownie Winnie Looking Out The Window…

Firstly, you need to look at the image to see what you need to stamp out to create the layers. Here I decided to stamp out:

1. The complete image for the base of the image
2. The complete image
3. The window box and foliage

On the 1st image, I coloured the entire image and paper pieced the curtains. I didn’t worry too much about the quality of colouring on the frame, window box and foliage as these will be covered by other layers.

On the 2nd image (see left here), I coloured the frame and the window box and foliage (not worrying too much about the quality of colouring on the window box and foliage as this will be covered by a final layer). I then cut out the frame and the window box and foliage.

On the 3rd image (see right here), I coloured the window box and foliage and cut out. I then cut out a piece of acetate to fit the window

I then made the rest of the card and stamped out the accompanying sentiment. I attached the acetate to the second layer of window frame using very thin (3mm) double-sided tape and assembled all the layers using 3-D foam pads

You can see the layers here. I just love the effect it gives. Doesn’t she look so dreamy??!!

Hope you enjoyed this week’s tutorial and have fun creating your own 3-D scenes! x
