Decoupage at Back to Basics

It's time for our latest challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond and this time the technique we are revisiting is decoupage. There are actually several techniques known as decoupage, after all it just means "cutting out", but the one most cardmakers are most familiar with is 3-D decoupage and that is what I've used here.

Many of you know how much I enjoy crafting with CDs and may be surprised that I've chosen not to use one here, after all CDs are a real treasure trove of resources when it comes to decoupage. But I really wanted a chance to play with this NBUS Hunkydory topper stack called Florabunda (sic).

There are 24 designs in the stack and each is repeated 6 times, making them ideal for decoupage as you have plenty images to work with. Each is exactly the size of an A6 card front.

I fussy cut various elements from each sheet to build up the layers, using some of the scraps to decorate the inside of the card.

I finished off with a tiny touch of glitter added just to the top layers.
