Hi Friends,
If you are a follower of my blog you know that I had posted a card a week or so ago that had 3 layers with flowers randomly stamped and it was in green. Today I am posting the other similar technique card that I made. In my stamp stash I have a cherry stamp I had never used before (we all do it LOL) but my excuse was, it was just rubber and was never mounted until lately when I had about 50+ stamps to mount on cling foam. When I finally had enough time to mount them I was happy to get it done as it is a really sticky unpleasant job to do but after it is done it is happy time!
So that cherry stamp will make the card even more than anticipated so I hope you enjoy it. Here it is:

Better view now, see the recipe below for two ways to make this beautiful card.
Recipe
If you ever doubted the ease of making a card like this, think again. It is as easy as 1-2-3 and I mean that.
Once you have your card base (mine is in white) you go from there to measure your first layer to go to the card base first (back layer). That will make sure you are not running out of space when you will adhere the 3 layers down when ready to do so.
There are two ways to do this.
Fisrt way: Take your 3 layers of white CS pre-sized and with a little bit of tape attach the 3 layers together in this card you would not have the red layer attached yet. JUST WHITE. Then you stamp your image randomly making sure you leave room for the Sentiment in the middle. You simply go around each edge of 3 layers and ink up the edges and tape finished all of your layers to the base card. End of First way.
Second way: Do the stamping like the first way and color everything you want to color and then layer 1/8th inch behind each later, in this case, I used red so in the end of this way, you end up with 6 layers of CS not counting the card base. End of second way.
To finish this card off you need to stamp your Sentiment in the middle, or if you want to play longer, use a die cut no larger than the middle layers to add the Sentiment on. But remember, you already have a total of 8 layers including the card base 2 layers and add 2 more for the card insert. So you have the tools to chose what you prefer and both ways are very pretty.
Tip: You will think when you stamp your image OH NO, it is showing a non stamped edge between all the layers. it is expected. When you will ink up your edges it will fade away the missing ink or when you color cover the coloring to the very edge of the layer. If you choose the method of adding a colored CS layer you won't need to worry because the layer will hide that.
