This technique was presented at a get together 
Now if I don't tell you would you notice?
Would a non crafter receiving this notice 
Now I will tell you the steps 
First you do a diagonal strip on a piece of card stock large enough to go behind whatever die cut you want to use 
So far so good You folder emboss the background and die cut the opening  
Notice yet?
Layer the opening over the diagonal 
Pretty right?
Then decorate 
I used a fabric holly that is absolutely gorgeous 
I am sharing this card at
 
 
See it yet?
Might be hard to see I embossed upside down
