Looking for ways to take your cards from plain to EXTRA? Add layers to your card base and build your way up towards the sentiment!
Allison is known for using many layers in her card creations, and each layer brings an opportunity for texture, pattern and interest. Todays ‘Thank You’ card has 7 layers as you make your way up to the sentiment, which goes to show how fun layering your card bases is to create depth and interest.
Allison started with the teal postage stamp layer, followed by the pink dot-dash die layer. She stenciled circles on a white layer but was sure to use the small stitch die around the edge for extra details. Next she used a greenery layer, followed by the floral layer to make a stunning spring wreath. You can go as much or as little as you’d like with this layer, as each piece is separate and can only add to the overall look of the project. Last she added the orange circle scallop layer, as a fanciful landing spot for her sentiment. It all comes together as a work of art, and we just adore how it turned out.
