Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Choose paper for different parts of a layering die. For a floral, a colorful abstract pattern works well.

  2. For foliage, a green paper with texture works well.

  3. Step 2

    Using small blending tools, shade portions of the die cut paper with coordinating ink.

  4. Step 3

    Alternate lighter and darker layers by varying the amount of ink.

  5. Step 4

    Blending around the edges of each layer adds dimension.

  6. Step 5

    Layer your images from darkest in the back to lightest in the foreground.

  7. Repeat this process for all parts of the image - in this case, foliage.

  8. Step 6

    Finish the card.
