Creating Layered Backgrounds without Layering Dies

Hello Crafters! How are you? Today I’m sharing a card full of layered die-cuts. I was inspired by the Altenew class Layering Dies, 3D and More (which you can find HERE) to create this card. I looked through my dies and found some that weren’t intended to be layering dies, but that layered nicely with each other, then created this card which has sooo much depth and dimension and a really nice textured feel.

I’m on the last leg of my journey now with my Altenew AECP course – I’m on level 3 and this is the third of 5 classes I need to take to complete this level. I’m getting nervous about my final project now as I will need to be the one giving the class for that!! I actually run a weekly craft class, and did loads of online classes during lockdown, but somehow it’s still very nerve-wracking to think that someone will be testing me!

You can check out the video below to see the full tutorial for this card, or if you scroll further you’ll find the supply list.
