Helen is the expert here. She buys white card, cut to size, embosses 
it with a "pen" like instrument to create "grooves" and glues the 
image into the groove. Normally she likes to run the image over and 
around the fold in the card: this requires stronger adhesive. If we 
want to print something on the card, we do this in the inkjet prior 
to "grooving" and gluing the image. Doesn't last forever, but its 
cheap and quick and gives my images of flowers a "raison d'etre"
