A New Type of 3-D for Me

I had plans for posting this last night but I got caught up watching American Idol and Mo had shut off the computer by the time I came upstairs! After giving pyramid cards a try, I decided to wanted to try 3-D cards. I don't think I did this one right but it does look better in person than on the screen.

Like pyramid cards, you start off with images on the cardstock that need to be cut down. In this case, there is more cutting as your building pieces of the scene up rather than a rectangle of the image.

For this card, the lighthouse was cut out several times, sometimes with the rocks, sometimes not and layered to give the card its depth and dimension. I'm not sure if I was supposed to pop dot one layer but if so, I couldn't tell you which layer so I didn't do this. Since the cardstock is well, cardstock (and thicker) it does seem to build the layers nicely.

I definitely need practice cutting and doing more of these but it was fun to try something new. I used my new favorite CB folder ~ swiss dots along with a little stamping to finish off the card.

We're stuck with the rain today. I would love to stay in my pajamas and stay inside all day but no luck. Hope its nice wherever you are!
