Creating Dimension

I have to work tonight, so have no time to make a card :(  

But someone today asked me how I created the dimension on my little animal cards:  

So I took an extreme close up to better illustrate my dodgy description.

Basically, it requires cutting foam pads into tiny fragments...

Hope this helps.

And I thought I'd take a close-up photo of my new favourite technique - clear embossing on white then inking on top!  

This was inspired by Sarah's layout here.

Off back to work now...
