Cutting
out the Image:
To cut out the image use a craft knife and scissors, nail scissors
that have a rounded blade are also useful.
Start with the intricate cutting and small areas rather than leave
them until last, this way you'll have more of the image to hold on
to. |

Tips
on Cutting:
Make
sure you cut into the corners, don't be tempted to pull the paper,
if the cuts do not meet, pulling the paper will leave jagged edges
or fraying.
Keep the knife upright and not at an angle to avoid white edges.
If you do get any white edges simply colour them with felt tip or
water colour paint.
Always cut away from a corner.

| Stick
The first layer onto the card using Uhu Stic glue. |
|
The
next layers can be stuck with either Silicone glue or sticky pads,
however you'll get better results with silicone.
Applying Silicone glue
Squeeze out a small amount of glue onto a nonabsorbent surface,
using a tooth pick or fine tipped embossing tool, roll the end in
the glue to pick up a small blob, then apply the glue to the back
of the layer. |
|
Adding
Shape to layers
To add more shape and depth to your finished image, emboss the layers
to give them a more rounded effect.
Before you apply the last layer, turn it over and place it on a mouse
mat, then using the handle of a tea spoon gently emboss the image. |
