Title: "The Understudy"
Hostess: Lee Murphy (LuvLee)
Keyword: NOV08VSNMINI3
Day/Date: Saturday, October 25
Time: 7 PM EDT
"An Understudy is a theatrical term for someone who learns the lines and blocking/choreography of a leading actor or actress in a theatrical play. Should the lead actor or actress be unable to appear on stage because of illness or accident, the understudy takes over the part. Usually, when the understudy takes over, the theater manager will make the announcement prior to the start of the performance." - Wikipedia
When I think of a Theatrical Production, especially the countless hours of rehearsals, I have a HUGE respect for the understudies. They must learn all of the dialogue and be prepared at a moment's notice to take over for the lead. That is an incredible amount of work in spite of the fact that they may NEVER even be seen!!
So in honor of the many, many hard-working and talented Understudies..........my challenge is to make a Layer Card. Did you catch the words Under and Over in that Wikipedia definition? Ahhh.......that makes me think of a card with lots of fabulous layers!!! A little time-consuming perhaps, but such beautiful results for that hard work!!! Please make a card using a minimum of 5 layers, 5 layers any way you'd like, it doesn't have to just be a base of 5 layers and..........you can definitely use more if you're an addict like me!!! LOL

You mean people actually make cards without layers? lol I didn't get to make one of these early so I'll have to get one made and posted soon!
This was a hard challenge! I don't usually do more than 3 layers, and sometimes that's a stretch! But, I love challenges, and this one was perfect for expanding my horizons and thinking outside my comfort zone!!!
