Todays card has again used older dies to create this really pretty look and the finished card is a 5x7", but flat enough to fit into a standard envelope.
It is a technique I watched Ann Melvin do on her YouTube Channel but she used stamps. I have used my own collection of dies and papers.
This is the Decoupage Delight Trellis 5x7" Die.
I have also used the Butterfly Trails Paper Pack and I needed two matching sheets.
They are both cut to the exact same size using the same area of the pattern and the top sheet has been cut with the middle Trellis die.
I have cut my foam sheet into thin strips and laid it all along the wrong side of the trellis and then married it up to other piece of the paper.
This raises it up and once added to the other sheet it leaves a beautiful effect of a shadow on the paper underneath.
I'm glad to see a post from you today Christina. I hope that means that you are feeling much improved. Take care and hope you are fully well soon.

Thats a very pretty card Christina. I also saw Ann’s tutorial and have made a card using this technique with a background of quite busy patterned paper, the effect was lovely.

Good Evening Christina. A lovely card. I love the trellis work on this one. It's lovely to get the older dies out again. I used an older set myself this week and one that I thank you for. The set was a Sue Wilson Fancy Grand Oval set that had been retired. I remember emailing you to see if you knew where I could get one. And lo and behold you let me have yours as you were having a sale at the time. I was over the moon with my purchase. I think of you every time I use it. Thankyou Christina. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏.Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
