Now, on to this week's challenge, SFC3212 Three Layer Dip

This week's challenge is very simple.  Create a card using at least three layers of paper or embellishments somewhere on your card.  Show us a great set of layers in different places.  We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

Let's start with some inspiration from the Holley Hobbyists.

Linda Weber created this wonderful card using Siobhan Harrison's Santa Tree-Topper.  What an adorable card.  Check out the layering she has used everywhere.  Thanks so much for joining our team this week, Linda!  Just think of all the great handmade Christmas cards you could make if you just get a few in every week starting now.

Jan Marshall  made this bright and beautiful card in yellow.  She's using a wonderful new stamp called Sun Shiny from artist Mike Eustis.  I like how she not only layers her papers and her items one on top of the other, but she is also layering them one item below the other.  That's a totally different way of thinking! Check out her white brads in the corner, clever, huh?

Elizabeth Hart designed this adorable card using a brand new design from artist Mike Eustis called Mischievous Mouse.  She's using wonderful layering too, on her mouse image, on her saying, on the adorable cuppie cake.  Oh so darling!

Charlene Mitchell shows great layering in several places, on the saying, on her cute flowers, layers of paper and ric rac, just adorable!  Oh, lovely.  Her card is using the new image called  Baby Bunting by artist Fawn Palmer.

 

Lisa Minkler crafted this humerus card using wonderful shades of green everywhere and a great image from artist Lynne Stansbery called Did You Say Facelift.  Check out all her amazing layers....wow!  I love that funny saying, "Remember...as far as anyone knows, we ARE a normal family!"  How many fun sayings can you think of to go with this lady?

Tammy Hair created a wonderful card using artist Fawn Palmer's For Your Birthday.  Look at all her double layered papers!  I love how she ties them all together by using a tiny sliver of light blue behind each one.  So great.

And lastly, I (Holley Barnhart from Holley's Blog)  used an adorable stamp in Christmas theme from artist Siobhan Harrison and is called "Christmas Goody Bag.  My card actually has 5 layers using a couple types of paper.  Just think, if you did a Christmas theme card even one per week, you would be done by the time Christmas got here!

I hope these cards have inspired you to make a card this week. Now run out and make a card to play along with us, don't forget to have lots of layers.  You are always welcome to play no matter what images you use, but to be eligible for the prize, please use a stamp from Squigglefly.
