This Challenge is all about Decoupage and Ive used one of the La Pashe designs, its from the series of "Remember When" images of days gone by, Ive used this one which I particular like of an old chap repairing his motorbike and in the background is a old tram, bus stop and bus inspector, Im sure its not a policeman as I dont remember ever seeing our police dressed like that, anyway heres my card.

Ive created a A5 card and used some red mirri board for my first mount then the decoupage was cut out by hand and with Pinflair silicone glue Ive mounted up the layers, I did mould some of the pieces to surround the figures rather than just pop them flat on top.

The greeting is also from the same sheets and this was also mounted onto a piece of the red mirri board and stuck at the top of the card on the right. Ive posted a side on view to give you an idea of the layers that have been mounted up.

I do so hope that your will pop across to http://cardsformen.blogspot.com/ and see what fabulous cards our Design Team members have created for your pleasure and inspiration.
