IAAS Layer it Up - Lots of Layers

To join us in our latest challenge come along to International Art and Soul and show us what you can do with 'Layer it Up, Lots of Layers' set by Christine. 

My card blank is 8x8 and is by Craft UK. I think you'll agree that I've definitely layered it up - nine layers in all. I think I got carried away. lol I'm still undecided whether to add a sentiment or flower.

The pink and lilac card is by Papermill and the various shades of yellow card are by Hobbycraft. The dies are in a complete set by Tonic. 

That was short and sweet as I have nothing else to say. 

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

Allsorts - Feminine

Brown Sugar - Anything Goes

IAAS Layer it Up

Come and join us at International Art and Soul for this challenge with the theme of Layer it Up.

My card blank is an ivory 8x8 by Joanna Sheen. I've been waiting to use my Tonic dies again because they're about the only ones that are actually available to use! lol I'm more or less ready to move house so a lot of my craft stash is packed. I used seven of the dies and layered them up. The purple and kingfisher coloured card is by Papermill. Once they were all layered the only addition was the flower cabouchon in the centre. This is from Craft Box and shows a pretty rose.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

IAAS - Stitching Real or Faux

Stitching - Real or Faux is the theme for the challenge over at International Art and Soul. My faux stitching is a bit messy but because it's close work my eyes weren't too good, sorry.

I used an 8x8 ivory coloured card blank by Craft UK and then added a mat of beige Papermill card. The Tonic lace layering die in large size was used for the next layer. I only fixed the centre panel so that the lacy edge stands proud. The flower stamp was a freebie from a magazine and I stamped it in Memento ink Rich Cocoa before cutting out with a Spellbinder die. I used the embossed edge to try and keep my faux stitching in place and for this I used my Promarker in brown (oops, placed back in tray before I noted the exact colour!) That was fixed slightly above centre and then I added two swirls in beige using my Tattered Lace die. The sentiment is by Lili of the Valley and that was stamped in brown and added to beige card too. Three gold pearls by Michael's stores (yay, I've had them years and just got round to using them) were added to the top right.

MAWTT Birds and Feathers

This challenge was set for us by Jackie and she chose Birds and Feathers. My digi is a bird and has feathers so I think I've covered the theme. lol Come long and join us at Moving Along with the Times.

My large ivory card blank is by Craft UK and I embossed it with an A4 embossing folder of leaves, I'm not sure of the maker, sorry. I then used my new Tonic Venetian Lace layering dies to make the mat in white and yellow. I coloured the digi using my Promarkers but I'm sorry to say that I cannot remember who I have to thank for the digi. I raised the mat on pads to give a bit of dimension to the card and it looks quite effective.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Crafts and Me - Things with Wings
Crafty Awesomeness - Anything Goes (with coloured image)
Creative Craft Cottage - Dies and/or punches
Love to Craft - Anything Goes
