Mod Squad - Paper Takes It's Tole

This week at  the Mod Squad my friend, Judy, is hosting.  She has chosen a fun challenge for us called Paper Takes Its Tole.  All you need to do is take an image, make at least 3 copies, and cute out smaller and smaller bits of it to layer together.

Here's my card

I used a stamp set called Bold Blooms from Gina K. Designs, stamped it three times and sponged with Distress inks.  I cut out three pieces and layered them together to make a whole flower.  The background is a patterned paper from Doodlebug.  The colors are really bold and beautiful.  I added a scripted word from Mama Elephant.  Isn't this a fun font!  I cut three of them and glued them together and then added some Wink of Stella for a little sparkle.  Thanks for coming by to look!

  6. That background paper looks like it has texture in it too, not just the bold colors. The flower is done so well in this technique. Love the colors that you choose for it too. They look as yummy as they sound. The Thanks on the bottom is so striking.
