					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clean-and-Simple and One-Layer have been my styles since the beginning I started making cards. Today, I am getting our of my comfort zone and working layers. Yes, layers of papers. And I found out that I enjoyed the process of making this card.</p>
<p><a title="You Are Ridiculously Awesome" href="http://wp.me/p1DmW0-2x1"><img data-recalc-dims="1" fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c4.staticflickr.com/9/8826/28802456851_258c8a7ce0_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="You Are Ridiculously Awesome" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>The paper packet I used today is <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/Retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9183&amp;ci=5919"><strong>Magical Paper Packet</strong></a>. I love the color combo from this packet. I created the blue watercolored washed background with <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=235"><strong>Sapphire and Crystal Clear Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads</strong></a>. I added some inks on my glass mat (you can also use acetate plastic or <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8035"><strong>All Purpose Mat</strong></a>), then I sprayed with some water then added the <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8651"><strong>Watercolor Paper</strong></a>. To create the texture or shades of colors, I dried between adding colors using my <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=510"><strong>Craft Heater</strong></a>.</p>
<p>I stamped the sentiment from <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9236"><strong>Beyond Awesome</strong></a> stamp set (like its name&#8230; it is an awesome set!!!) with <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Products.aspx?CatalogID=235"><strong>Cranberry and Honey Exclusive Inks Stamp Pads</strong></a>. Using <a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7190"><strong>Non-Stick Micro-Tip Scissors</strong></a>, I cut the arrow and using Fiskar Paper Trimmer I cut rectangle sentiment.</p>
<p><a title="You Are Ridiculously Awesome" href="http://helengullett.com/?p=9735"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://i0.wp.com/c3.staticflickr.com/9/8650/28846701506_b94a346f82_z.jpg?resize=560%2C560&#038;ssl=1" alt="You Are Ridiculously Awesome" width="560" height="560" /></a></p>
<p>First, I put together the patterned papers with adhesive runner, then I stitched them using the <strong><a href="http://helengullett.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=7334">Stitching Guide</a></strong> and needle. Then I added the sentiments with 3D foam adhesive.</p>
<p>My card is done&#8230; I love working with layers now <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
