All or Nothing!

What's with the dramatic post title?  Well, it's time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin' and that's our theme.  In other words, lots of layers etc or one layer, CAS style. 

Lately I've been much more inclined towards clean and simple cards but I've been itching to use a stamp set from Stampin' Up that rarely gets an airing. 

I've seen several variations on this layered theme on blogs and on Pinterest and had to try it for myself.  I stamped my flowers and leaves on a large square of white card and then used my Spellbinders dies to cut two smaller squares out of its centre, going down 2 die sizes at a time (hope this makes sense!).  I then cut squares from purple Bazzill using the dies I had missed out then layered the Bazzill and stamped squares making sure that the images lined up properly.  I added a little velvet ribbon and could have left it at that, but decided to add a layered die cut sentiment which I covered in Glossy Accents to get some shine and extra dimension.

I must admit that I rather like this look - you could do it with patterned paper if you're really pushed for time.

Now back to our challenge!  Our sponsor is Live and Love Crafts who have a voucher to give away to our randomly chosen winner.

 

 

Hope you can play along with us this week!
