layer me baby!

I know everyone has a different stamping/scrapping style. But how many layers is your average creation?? Single - which is hard sometimes, is 2 enough? 5 to many?? I am posting a poll!

When I first started cardmaking many years ago, I made cards with 2 or 3 layers. As I got more experienced and adventurous, I started making more complex designs with lots more layers. One card I remember in particular had 11 layers! Now I'm back to more CAS (clean and simple) designs and I have simplified my layouts and end up usually only using 3 to 4 layers on a card. I agree, it's a lot harder to make a one layer card than a five layer card.

I voted 3-4 because that's probably my average, but like Susan said I can have a TON of layers easy...a framed sentiment layered over an image with 2 frames on a background with 2 frames seems simple, but that's 8 layers on the base already!

I love all kinds though...some of the crazy embellished ones are so beautiful, and then there are CAS ones I love just as much!

I didn't vote because it really varies from card to card for me. Sometimes, it's one layer and other times, it's lots of layers. I love them all! :grin:

I voted "any amount" because it depends on the creation and the way the wind is blowing that day!

Me too. Any amount because it varies from card to card.

Depending on what I'm making, I'll put on about 3 to 4 layers.

I LOVE CAS with no layers or 1 to 2. I voted 3 to 4 layers. Many times I have 2 to 3 layers.

I am usually a 2-3 layer gal. Of course every rule must be broken at times. LOL.

Clean and simple is lovely, but not my style. I say, "Bring on the layers and bling!"

I voted 3-4, but I think if there was a 2-3 option it might have been closer to my average. Except when I am following a sketch - that bumps them up from my own personal norm. Of course, I could surprise myself when I go and take a dozen random cards from my box and actually analyse them!

I voted for "any' amount because it depends on the card and also on the mood that I am in.

Happy stamping!

Base card with image that is matted at the very least, so what is that, 3 layers (counting base I mean?) More often main image is double matted so usually a 4th layer. If card base is white a 5th layer to add a 4x5 ish square of colored c/s on the front.

I don't know that I have ever done 11 though, man that would be thick with SU c/s!!
