Although applique is usually done using fabric theres absolutely no reason why we cant do it with paper. I learnt applique when I was in college and I loved being able to create layers upon layers and the possibilities..literally endless
It can be quite time consuming but the end result is certainly worth it..
If you layering on top then there is a bit of a cheat where you can use
shape punches but if you're doing reverse applique I guess the best way
would be to use a blade to carve out your shapes. The best part is you
could probably make both types as long as you carve the shape neatly
you'll be able to make both an applique and reverse applique piece. Adding in dimensions and other textures is quite appealing too but usually you need the right balance to make it work.
There's so many different choices of papers you can use, standard/ coloured/ tissue/ metallic etc. The variety of the weight of the paper will also have a pleasing impact too
Have fun crafting ;)
