One Stitch at a Time Challenge 56

First, a Happy Mother's Day to all mums reading this. Hope you're being thoroughly spoiled.

Now, onto this week's challenge at One Stitch at a Time. This week, we want you to make something 3D. That can be decoupage, or anything else that stops your creation from being flat on the page!

We're sponsored this week by Michelle's Scrap
So, I could have chosen to do some decoupage, or some other technique to give lots of dimension, but I thought I'd try something a little different. I chose Tree Set from Gingerloft, and despite wanting to use several of those gorgeous images, settled for using just one, several times.

I first put together a digital background, consisting of a gradient that went between green and blue, and printed it onto paper. Then, I took the tree image, and separated it digitally into 'foreground' - the main tree and ground texture, and 'background' - the rest. I printed those two images separately, and then layered them with the background using sticky pads.

As you can probably see, I added a frame, which is also mounted on sticky pads.
Finally, I made a 'tray' into which the whole thing fitted so you can't see the sticky pads any more!


The effect is remarkably three-dimensional in real life, but I struggled to show that well in a photograph, so you're probably going to have to take my word for it!

I had originally thought of making it into a card, my my husband liked it and suggested it stay just as it is, so it's currently on display in our living room!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
Paper Playtime where anything goes,
Top Tip Tuesday where they want something 'nature inspired'
Digis with Attitude where anything goes,
Stamp Something where it's Digi Day.

Wow what an amazing project you have made with this one. It is definitely something that you should have on display and looks like a 3d picture from a gallery.

Well done for doing something different.
