Faux Layered Die-Cut Thanks Card

I must confess that it took me quite a while to complete this simple card. Yet I must also say that I like it a lot! After all, who says simple means easy! Ha!

This is a technique I learned from the latest Online Card Classes – Clean & Simple 3, One Layer Cards. My jaw just dropped when I saw this Faux Layered Die-Cut technique and had to try it. For me, it’s a variation from paper piecing and also further takes the die-cut to another level.

I am also entering this card to the following challenges:

1. ColourQ Challenge #233
 
2. A Blog Named Hero Challenge #40 Paper Piecing

3. Moxie Fab World Challenge – Stencils, Styling with Stencils Challenge
4. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Glitter it
  
Card Details

1. All stamps are by Hero Arts. I used four background stamps to make my own patterned paper. The Tweed Pattern stencil , Layered Hearts and Phrase Bubble dies are by Hero Arts too.
