The Pixie Cottage Challenge #19 - 3D/Decoupage/Paper Tole


It time for another Once Upon a Wednesday Challenge.
This week we have a wonderful sketch for you designed by Senior Design Team Member Pam!


As well as the sketch we have the technique challenge of Paper Tole. Some people call this Decoupage and the technique involves multiple layers of the same initial image. So you stamp more than one of the image and then cut out and pop up parts of the image to form dimension in the layers. It is not cutting out a whole of the image, just the parts that would be at the front/top layer if the image was in 3D. Hopefully you'll be able to see some of the effect on the teams cards.
Remember also that our challenges are "Take Your Pick" and you can choose to do the sketch, the technique or both!

One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.
Winners will be announced on the Friday following the end of the challenge.

We also have another fabulous card by our Special Guest for the month;
