Layers on Layers on Layers

Here's my take on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge #3 for the month: to use layers in a project.




My pages are from my niece's baby shower. My siblings collectively have 5 boys and 2 girls, so we're a bit boy-heavy in the count. So it was extra nice to hear one of my nieces was having a girl. Now I'm a great aunt - who has yet to meet baby Vera, who's several months old now, but I hope to see her soon!

  All the layers:

Paper:  I used an Allison Davis sketch, so layering papers was part of the deal. As an aside....I took an AD sketch support class last summer, and it was such a motivator! It really got me into/back into blogging, scrapping, everything. 

Stickers: I layered stickers on vellum, stickers on photos and  bling on stickers to make the embellishments.

Pearls: The flower paper was already layered with glitter and embossing, but I added my own homemade pearls as flower centers, too.

Title Letters: I've read that you can make your own chipboard by gluing layers of cardstock.  I finally tried it - why did I wait so long?!  I had no idea how easy it is and how good it looks, and I'll never have a flat title again.  I cut "girl" 5 times (3 or 4 would have been plenty), with 4 from kraftstock and the top layer from a glitterstock. The layers of small letters were easy to glue with a zig glue pen. 


Everything came from my October kits. When I started the month I had no idea how useful my purple add-on kit would be! I can't think of a time when I've used so much (or any?) purple like I have this month.


Now please go take the challenge, layer something on your own project and link it on the CKC blog. Thanks for looking!
