I was seeing this Tunnel or Telescope Technique in other Stampin' Up! Demo websites and decided to try it out. It is easy to put together, you want to have a couple raised image levels. To accomplish this, you need Foam Adhesive Strips and the edges of Dimensionals; the center is attached directly to the card base.
The Designer Series Paper if from the new Scrapbooking Collection, this pack is called Sweet Days of Autumn, the graphics include forest animals, graphic trees and a Old Olive design. Paper packs in the scrapbook line have 12 sheets, 4 of each design.
Have a great day
