Scrapy Land Guest Designer--Lots of Layers

Hello, friends! Today marks the start of another new challenge at  Scrapy Land.  This time the challenge is "Lots of Layers" plus use any brand die Scrapy Land sells in the shop. I made a layered card for my friend's twin sister who recently was involved in a serious auto accident. Thankfully she had no life threatening injuries, but will have many months of rehab to recover from her multiple broken bones.  I wanted to make a card to cheer her up as she begins her stay in a rehab hospital.


I was inspired by my pink climbing rose out my back door. As you can see, I have lots of layers--eleven in all, excluding the embellishments and base card. Following is a list of dies used; all are brands Scrapy Land carries:

Sizzix Tattered Flower Garland
Spellbinders Lacy Oval Dies
Spellbinders Labels Eight Dies
Spellbinders D-Lites Garden Gate
Tattered Lace Ornate Leaves


For the base layer, I chose a piece of embossed paper from my stash and colored it with Distress inks in Victorian Velvet, Peeled Paint and Frayed Burlap. The next three colored papers are from a Basic Grey paper collection. It's so easy when the papers coordinate! I die cut each layer two times with the Spellbinders Labels Eight die--one from the colored papers and one from white card.  Then I cut around each  a third time leaving a margin on more white card and layered them up! The Spellbinders Lacy Oval is cut from another paper from that same set. The Spellbinders Garden Gate is cut two times and layered.






The roses were handmade using Sizzix Tattered Flower Garland and colored using Picked Raspberries Distress stain. These are so tiny I could barely see to make them! The foliage is die cut from my favorite Tattered Lace die and colored with Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn Distress inks. I used only the flourishes from the Heart Flourish die, and the lace is from my stash. Get Well Soon (Inkadinkadoo) was stamped and handcut into a tiny banner.










I would like to enter my card into the following inspiring challenges:


Please pop by Scrapy Land to see all the inspiration the talented Design Team has made for you, and if you can make time, please enter your layered project into Lots of Layers at Scrapy Land.  All you have to do is use at least one brand of die Scrapy Land sells, and you might win a $15 gift certificate to Scrapy Land!

Thank you for stopping by today and for all your amazing comments! I read and appreciate each and every one!
Hugs and Blessings!
Sara Emily

    Ahhhhhhhhh - PRECIOUS. This is LOVELY Sara and dear me... eleven layers. AMAZING! In a few days it will be 44 years ago I married my then young minister husband. Our first parsonage had a white picket fence much like you created on your card. This brings back special memories! Your creation just couldn't be any more BEAUTIFUL and spring like. You made my day!

    This is beautiful, Sara Emily! So nice of you to make a card for your friend's sister...this will certainly make her smile! I love all of your layers and those flowers are amazing! Your decorative gate and pink roses remind me of my own similar-looking arbor with pink climbing roses! Too early here for blooms, though, but soon. Love this!!!

    GORGEOUS!!! Wow Sara, you certainly can whip out your feminine shabby side when you want too!! This is just stunning! I am loving all your shabby layers and soft colours, what a dreamy palette! Beautiful choice of die for the focal image, think I will be adding that one to my wish list!! Amazing flowers, love the punch of colour, and how they trail as if on an ivy vine! A stunning card from top to bottom my friend! Well freaking done! hugs :)

    Is there any style you can't do dearie? This feminine and shabby card full of sooooo many gorgeous layers is breathtaking! That central gate/fence die reminds my of the Secret Garden! Full of mystery to see what is on the other side of that fantabulous gate! Those little flowers are beautiful and I can only imagine the magnifying glass you used to help make those. Hehe! 5 star review from me! Bravo and wowzers! Hugz to you muffin! ~Punkin

    Ooooh Sara, this is gorgeous! You certainly do excel at every style you play with. :o) This is so beautifully shabby. Each layer contains sweetness, elegance, and femininity. The gate is stunning and I am enamored with the climbing roses. What a gorgeous inspiration you had. The flourishes and trims add the softness that I do so love in creations. Breathtaking beautiful as always, my dear friend. Oh the joy you bring to my heart... always know how much I treasure you! And thank you for sharing your creativity with us at Live & Love Crafts!

    Such a lovely summery vibe - the alternating layers are delightful with their soft inky tones and effects. Gorgeous use of the die-cuts too - simply delicious.
