Just Us Girls #297 - Trend


Sue has chosen a fun [and one of my favorites] trend of stacking die cuts.  I love the depth this gives to a card.

With a straight on photo, it is hard to tell.  However, when you do a side photo you get to see the fun stacked die!

For a little fun, I used hot pink for my inside layers.  [This is 4 high.]  My happy is Avery Elle Said Happy Die.  I used my new Zig Clear Color Real Brush Water Color Pens for my background.  These are a fun tool!

A little hint for doing these stacked words - use a piece of tape to hold while adhering together.  Makes it really easy to add the glue.


Okay, your turn!  Come on over and check out what the Team did and then play along at Just Us Girls #297.  Can't wait to see what you layer~


Thanks for stopping by~

Fab card Vicki, love those coloured layers.
I add double sided tape to the wrong side of the card before die-cutting, so layering is simply a matter of peel and press... no fuss with glue!
