The finished project

Create a charming layered scene card featuring adorable bunnies in a soft pink and grey colour palette. This elegant top-fold card showcases a cut-out window with clear acetate backing, revealing stamped bunny characters positioned on white layered hills that create beautiful depth and dimension. The design incorporates vintage-style floral imagery and music notes, with the scene viewable from both front and back for an interactive, three-dimensional effect.
