These next six cards are all made from the same sketch, but all with different colors of card stock and designer papers - can you see the possibilites with just one idea? Such fun!! I'll call this technique "Rectangle Layering"
I made 4 layers: #1 layer is the card base; #2 layer is a lighter matching color; #3 is the card base color; #4 is the designer paper which is cut in half length-wise and then in half vertically and then placed apart to show the card stock beneath!
