Lots of layers... must be time to do some decoupage!

'Lots of layers' has a very strong association with decoupage for me, as I'm still getting to grips with how to make a card front heavy with layers without it falling over! The 'BBrat Girl Balloon Sitter' image from our sponsors this month, Bugaboo Digi Stamps, is perfect for creating a layered decoupage. I printed four copies to an A4 sheet of my favourite coated card, and cut out and layered up each part of the image based on the foreground/background position of each element. Once everything was assembled, I coloured in with ProMarkers. Doing it this way made sure I didn't waste time and ink colouring in things that would be covered by the next layer. I then matted onto an 8x8" card blank.

With a straight on view, there's just an emphasis of the shading I did with the colour, but top down you can see the   layers a bit better. Oh, and I've learnt a bit more about matting layers without the card toppling forward - a couple of the mats are paper rather than card ;)

Until next month, happy crafting!

January - Lots of Layers - Angelie

Hi there

Hope you are all enjoying this month's challenge. For my card I decoupaged this image into three layers and added a quote which seemed to fit really well and will be very apt for the recipient

More information on the card is available on my blog

Looking forward to seeing your designs before this months challenge ends!

The image is from our sponsor for this challenge, I think it's quite a fun image.

We've still got lot's of other inspiration from my fellow DT members to come, so pop back and see what lovely things they have done.

Hi all, Sammy here with an awful lot of layers... You see, I made two cards for our lots of layers challenge, so there's a double amount!

First, a card for a younger girl:

And next a card for a grown-up.

Got to love Bugaboo images, no?
