Let's Craft and Create Challenge #223: Anything Goes or Lots of Layers (Option)...

 

We're cruising into Autumn and it's time for our September challenge at Let's Craft and Create. I hope you'll join in the fun and post your creation below. 

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.
