There is NO WAY I'm making a card using as many layers as in my username (HeartHugsDesigns.) It's 16 letters! So, Lee said we could do half the amount. I did eight layers and even then I started to feel queasy. I had all my layers out and then I realized I had to use three embellishments and thought made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't add MORE to this already way full card! So, I used ribbon, crystal effects, and glitter as my embellies. The stamp set is Unity's Everyday Adorable. I am IN LOVE with this kit, so cute!

Thankfully, the Monday SCS Clean and Simple challenge was to make over one of your own cards! Woohoo! I chose to make over my YSHLUA challenge card. Look at how clean and simple and non queasy it is! I have to admit four layers is my comfort zone. I love a nice four layer card. I used the same stamp kit, paired down the layers, left off the embellishments, and stamped the sentiment directly on one of the layers. So easy, so clean.
It's a little hard to believe that probably six months ago, I would have preferred the layered card. I guess that goes to show how we grow. Maybe one day, I'll go back to being a more is more stamper. But for now, clean and simple works for me.
Happy Tuesday!
Great take on both the challenges Ashley. I wonder how much it would cost to mail that first card with the weight of all those layers? LOL
