Card Recipe

Papers: White CS, Photo Paper, Blue CS
Techniques: Embossing, Layering
Accesories: DRU Cutting Dies by Amy Design and Sue Wilson

**********************************************************

How-To
This card was actually simple to make once the idea came-together. The focus was on stack-layering all the diecuts for depth and dimension. Start by creating your base with the largest die from the Squared Squares Die Set. Then emboss your background with the die this will give you a fun look with an inlay for placing your multi-layered cuts directly over the die impression.





Next, die-cut and adhere in place a netting background behind the opening of the diecut.


I did not have a netting cutting die on hand, so created my own by using the diagonal cutting die. It was cut side by side several times until I could cut-out a large enough piece to cover the back of the nautical frame for the look.
Give this method ausing your various dies for fun new looks!  :)
