Crystal is sharing a very special project for this challenge!
Crystal: Today we are "Layering It Up" and I am using the Uptown Girls stamp (U4133), pouring on the layers for you ...
I made the card base on my Gypsy and then cut it with the Cricut. The first layer I wrapped with twine and added faux stitching.
The next layer, I cut up a paper doily and inked to age.
The next layer is blue with more faux stitching and the last layer is a marble blue and white which I embossed with a cloud folder and inked with Baja Breeze SU ink, so the clouds pop out more.
Next I cut out my Girlfriends, they are colored with Copic markers and paper pieced. I shaded the paper pieces for depth.
I added a bow and handmade flowers to the left side. This is an easel card, so I carried the flowers and layers to the inside so it matches.
