For today's Free For All Challenge #F4A452, "To Be Yourself". For me, most of my makes include loads of layers. I LOVE LAYERS, lots of layers. This card is no exception. BG is triple layered for depth. Carnation Flowers are multi-layered with cardstock gold & burlap ribbons. Sentiment Flag & sentiment also multi-layered for dimension. I've always multi-layered word cuts as doing-so looks nicer and the words stand-out better - creating shadow effects.
Lovin' this fabulous layered Carnations die set by Sue Wilson! These flowers layer beautifully! The Carnations are die-cut out of Coconut White Card-stock, and wide holiday ribbons in golds & laced burlap. (This is a good idea for using-up those giant rolls of Christmas ribbons!) I then placed a golden brad through the flower centers to hold together. I've added adhesive pearls over the brads holding the flowers together & the background panel as the finishing touches. The ribbon is also behind the background panel and pierced flags to continue the look throughout. SW Dies used; Layered Carnations, Celtic Circles BG, Isobel's Celebrate word & Pierced Flags.
