Virginia's View Challenge #14: Layers and Dimensions

Hello, friends!  As Easter quickly approaches, I wanted to share a card I made for the current Virginia's View Challenge #14: Layers and Dimension.

I find it hard to believe that I just typed those words.  Layers and dimension are not usually in my vocabulary! However, I have recently been playing with my Spellbinders "Crosses Two" dies and I found so many wonderfully inspiring cards using these dies on Pinterest that I had to give it a try!

I made a two-layer cross and added dimension by popping up the smaller cross on top of the larger one beneath.  I inked the bottom cross to add depth to the die cut.  I layered the cross onto a dry-embossed oval die cut and then adhered to the dry embossed framed card base.  I added Wink of Stella all around the scroll border but I just can't seem to capture the sparkle in the light today.  However, the gold glitter paper cross and gems add plenty of sparkle, too!

I'm usually not a fan of layers and dimension because it usually involves extra postage when mailing the card.  However, I know this card will be hand-delivered to my mom this Easter, so layers are fine in this case!

Thanks, Virginia, for yet another exciting challenge.  This one runs until May, my friends, so you have plenty of time to get your layers and dimension on!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
