It's time for another challenge over at the Seize the Birthday blog and our fearless leader Nancy is the host. She has chosen a fun Topping which may only be challenging for the tried and true CAS card makers. She's asking for Layers.
I took the prompt literally and added gobs of paper layers in the form of frames and florals.
And I had enough florals leftover to create a pretty bookmark.
My design started with a old piece of designer paper from my stash. I don't even know who made it since it was loose and not tucked inside a pad. The colors really drew me in. I'm still digging through my NBUS bin so today's pick was a set of daisy dies. I matched up the paper colors with cardstock scraps from my stash and went to town die cutting. I embossed the front of a yellow card base, added a matted oval and then layered the florals until I got something I liked. The sentiment was heat embossed in white onto brown cardstock. I used the leftovers on a bookmark.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card with those lovely flowers and the layers. Great job matching the color of the flowers with the colors in the pattern paper.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, wow!! I love your layers! So much texture, so much stuff to look at and such a cheerful card! I do love the colors of the die cut flowers also - the blue seemed a bit odd, but it really brings out the other colors. I totally love this one, Jules!
