Orchid decoupage card

Decoupage is one of those craft techniques that I've not tried before - I was always put off by all that fiddly cutting out. But now I've discovered die cut decoupage sheets, there is no excuse!


So here is my first attempt - a very simple card using an orchid from the Small Beauties selection:

I created the decoupage on a scrap of cream pearlescent card, mounted it onto a piece of copper embossed pearl paper from my stash and attached to a card blank made from matching cream pearl card. I used 3D sticky pads to layer the decoupage elements.

The great thing about decoupage is that you get depth as well as the image so you only need a very simple card design to show it off. And with die cut designs it's a very quick way to make beautiful handmade cards.
