...and I'm a TOTAL layer addict!! LOL! When I was looking at my card this morning, and getting ready to write this post...it dawned on me that there are ten layers on this card! Gasp!! :-) Maybe that's why this card was so much fun to make! Heheheee!

Some of the little "extras" that I added are: Crystal Effects on the cupcake frosting, Stardust Stickles on the flowers, Rhinestones, Chipboard swirls, Cuttlebug embossed the Blush Blossom vertical strip,stitching around the vellum circle, a button, and of course ribbon! :-)
You won't want to miss seeing what Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn,Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon have made....they are all SO talented and will surely inspire you!! :-)
I hope you have a fantastic Friday!!! ~Laurie

This is gorgeous!! Well, I guess if I want my cards to look as great as yours, I'll have to stop hoarding pretty papers and layer at least an additional 6 more papers, lol. Thanks for sharing this beautiful card!

Hi Laurie! You definitely are the layering queen! I love it! Glad to have Beate's weekend sketch challenge back, too. I always looked forward to it and missed it over the summer. Hope I can play this weekend. Take care!
P.S. We're still in the low 100's down here. I'm sooooo over summer, just as you were sooooo over winter. hee hee

But layers are what makes them so great! I look back at my first cards and how terrible they were....but I didn't have any layers. You are officially the queen of layers.
