Hi Lickul miss. If it was me I would put the full picture down first then cut the whole cake out and place on top using foam pads for the second layer and for the third layer I would cut the bottom layer of the cake out and stick that on with foam pads. That would be a very easy first decopage to do.

You could make it more complicated by cutting out her red costume and her head seprately and sticking them on. It depends on what you want the finished product to look like. I hope I have not confused you. I am not an expert I have only played with decopage 5 or 6 times. Someone else on here will probably have more, and better, ideas than i have. Good luck with it and I look forward to seeing the finished card.

That's good, but I think it might be a bit complicated to do it the way you want to. I would use something like this:



The heart in the background should be flat against the card, the lettering one stage up and then Betty and the dog two stages. You will need to stick the images to card and use foam pads if you want it to be obviously 3D.

Love your card - where did you get the heart-shaped brad?

sorry, can't remember. I have had it for ages. Thanks for the compliments on my card, but it is an old one, on one of the first few pages. I am so busy just now, not have time to look at all your cards and comments, maybe later, I am rushing out of the door just now...
