I try not to be too bulky on the cards that will be going through the mail for Christmas so I thought of this challenge. Make an all one layer card, but make it look dimensional by masking and stamping the background and main images separate.
What I did was take a scrap piece of paper the size of my card and die cut an opening (oval) for my main image to go inside. I put removable tape on the back of each piece and then laid it all back on my base, then removed the center (oval) where I stamped the images and then shading around the outside of the image, when done I added the oval piece back over the image and removed the background piece and stamped and embossed my snowflakes and sentiment and then added ink to color my background. All one layer but it looks like two layers. I did add that piece I worked on to my card base because I can't seem to be able to emboss without making my card warp and I wanted to be able to tape it to my card base so you are allowed to do that. I hope I was able to explain that easily, I am not very good at that and I thought it up myself so I don't have any video's to share but I am sure others have done it.
The card does not have to be Christmas it can be any theme at all. I will chose a name of all those that participate in the challenge and will send a goodies package out to you. I don't know if I am forgetting anything so please ask questions on what I may have missed.
I will post the card I did in the gallery.
Here is a sample that I did for the challenge:
