Tuesday DCRU Challenge: LAYER IT!

Hey everyone!

So glad to be back again to host this week's Die Cuts R Us challenge...which I have simply titled, LAYER IT!

Yes, that's right! We want to see what you can do with your papercrafting tools-whether it be diecuts, embossing, etc. to create a LAYED embellishment on your card, layout, or project! You can use punches or diecuts to create a layered embellishment for your card-aka flower, ribbon
slide or tag, etc."

We'd love to see all of your lovely creations, so please remember to LEAVE A COMMENT on today's post telling us where we can view your work! Mr. Linky has been acting up on us so just be sure to leave a comment on this very post and we'll be sure to check out your submissions!
