Think Pink!

I have a confession to make.

I have a problem.

It's a bit of an addiction.

It's a bit of co-dependence.

I am not wholly sure that it is healthy...

...or even in good design.

But it is my problem none-the-less.

My name is Christi and I have a problem with using too many layers.

It started out so innocently.

A bit of a black border to make a card pop.

A border punched edge to add just that tiny pizzazz.

But something went very wrong along the way.

I started using layers as a crutch/solution/go-to-fix when my designs weren't working.

That brings us to today's card. 

I may have hit rock bottom with this one.

13 layers!?!?

*sigh*

I think that I have a problem...with using too many layers...

;o)

Today's Friday Fun challenge came to us from Sara and that was to THINK PINK!

I think that I managed that. ;o)

  1. I look at that card and see 4 layers. It doesn't count if you have to frame up your layers, that's just good card making. :) Spoken by another layer addict (although that is not shown in today's post)

  2. Yes, you obviously do have a "layering problem" -- but it makes for beautiful cards!

  13. Oooh, you are the Layer Queen Christi. But that card looks too good to criticise the number of layers.
