*** Card of many Layers **

Hello folks,

I hope you are all well.

Today starts a new challenge at

Sweet Stampin Challenge

where we would like to see Lots of Layers on your Creations

I have coloured with Copics a digital image from Mariola Budek called She Wolf
I do like these stunning drawings and find them very easy to colour as the shading is already done for you. Card base is white, with layers using kraft cardstock then a matted silver.  The frame is a Spellbinder oldie, cut in kraft on top of which I used a stitched rectangle die to cut a layer in silver.  The image was cut using a smaller stitched rectangular die.  Sentiment is from a Lawn Fawn stamp and die set, stamped with Black Memento Ink.  

I would like to enter the following challenges:

As you Like it Challenge - Favourite Wild Animal
