Artfully Layered Birthday Challenge for Stampin' Fancy Friday!

It is Stampin' Fancy Friday Challenge time! (Although new inspiration for the monthly challenge is posted almost every day now...not just Fridays!!! 💥) And this month it is a BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE!  Since I love birthdays (for others...not necessarily for me.  Haha.) ... I wanted to use one of my very FAVORITE bundles from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog called Artfully Layered!  (Click HERE or on catalog name to see this fabulous catalog!) It. Is. Fantastic!  Major Swoon!  😍 I will show you how fabulous this bundle is, but first...here is the card!

Colors:  Polished Pink, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Black, Whisper White, Gold

Inks: Granny Apple Green, VersaMark, Memento Black

Cardstock/Papers: Whisper White, Thick Whisper White, Polished Pink, Coastal Cabana, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Gold Foil Sheets, Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Artfully Layered

Tools: Tropical Layers Dies, Water Painter, Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, Heat Tool

Accessories: Linen Thread, From My Heart Faceted Gems, Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, White Stampin' Emboss Powder

Naturally...since it is called "Artfully Layered" Bundle...I had to use a lot of layers!  Haha.  (Ok...that was really just a coincidence...or really...just something I do often.  Haha.) And I have to say...it works for this card!  So here is picture overload to show you the layers! 

This fun palm was actually cut out from watercolored Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  The Granny Apple Green cardstock was too rich for the color that I really wanted, so I just did a watercolor wash onto the watercolor paper with Granny Apple Green ink.  Then used the dies to die-cut it out!  Love how versatile products can be!  Also...that black splatter makes all those bright colors pop even more, in my opinion!  Thanks for being such a great supporting element, black splatter! 😁

I mean...check out the DOUBLE EMBOSSING!!!  I am going to call it double embossing because I first embossed the piece of Whisper White cardstock with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.  And THEN I used the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder after that.  ♡ LOVE! ♡

So you have the fabulous double embossing, but then you also have splatter, fun layered die-cuts, designer series paper, linen thread, etc...basically texture galore!  Which makes my heart swoon more!  Hee.  So I have to admit...I am really loving how this birthday challenge card came out!  

Now...what do you think about all the pieces of this Artfully Layered Bundle?!  Pretty fabulous, huh?!?  😁

Yeah...a little obsessed!
