The Art of Decoupage

[Higgydig]

Once upon a time there were two types of decoupage - one flat and one dimensional. Now we're in a different world!

We have 3D decoupage and die cut decoupage. We have pyramage and twisted pyramage. There are steppers and stackers. There's invertage and tunnel decoupage.

I was trying to explain to a friend what the different terms were, and she wondered whether there was a psycho-page. I know there are many other terms in use at the moment - can you remember what they are?:giggle:

I seem to have heard several versions on the theme of pyramage, including pyramidage. And the GG's came up with various names on that new Butterfly CD the other week. Something like ovaltage etc :dull:
