I opted to go with the "Lots of Layers" option. I remembered an old technique, which I decided to try once again. Here's my card:
I found an AI image online that was free to use for personal purposes. It was perfect for the technique I wanted to use, which is often called "Triple Time Layering."
I started by sizing, then printing the image. I used a layering rectangle die to cut it to 4" X 5 1/4".
I carefully centered two more layering dies on my image, holding them in place with some Post-It tape before running them through my die-cutting machine.
Once the layers were cut, I glued the outermost section, which looked like a frame, directly to my card base. Then I matted the other two pieces with the same cardstock that was used for the base.
Each matted layer was popped up with foam tape.
The sentiment was printed with my computer, die-cut and glued directly to the top layer of my card front.
The inside sentiment was also printed with my computer on a separate panel, then adhered to the inside of the card.
Now I hope you'll hop over to Let's Craft and Create and look at all the creations from the Design Team. They are an amazing group and I know their projects will inspire you.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

This is gorgeous. So serene and a perfect fall image. Love that layering. I kind of forget about that techniue. Thanks for inspiring me to try it again.
I have seen that technique for years, and I don't think I've ever done a card using it. Yours turned out great!!
I had forgotten about this technique - makes a beautiful Thanksgiving card. Hope I have some time in my craft room this weekend to play.
This card is like opening a window straight into an autumn forest — I can almost hear the crunch of leaves underfoot! The layered effect makes it feel so inviting and cozy. Absolutely beautiful work!
