Designing is fun!

So, I said last post I've been playing with digital manipulation with some of my own photographs, and I've come up with my own decoupage sheets. There is only the one sheet at the moment, but I am so pleased with the results that there may be more forthcoming.

Here is the finished product!

This is the whole page, with 5 layers, put together with 2mm tape, but I did discover that from one page, I could make 2 toppers, as long as I print out the top layer twice!









OK, so the layering up isn't great, some of the bits aren't quite where they should be. I'll admit, I haven't decided how I want to make it into a card, so I haven't taken the back off the 3d foam yet, but I think it gives a pretty good idea of what I've achieved.







I must give credit where credit's due - it was watching Create and Craft that I decided to give this a go. Presenter Dean Wilson has been suggesting that we crafters make this the year that we manufacture our ideas, so I did! I must say it's been a fab way to spend some sick time off work.

Watch this space for more designs and ideas - although they might have to wait until the flowers are up in the garden again!
