CHALLENGE #106 - LOTS OF LAYERS

Hey there Pinkies!!

Hope you're all OK and enjoying the leaves starting to fall... there are such beautiful colours in the trees at the moment - but of course, our favourite are the Acers - their colour is a really deep PINK at this time of the year!

We've got a fabulous new challenge for you - our theme this time is...

LOTS OF LAYERS
(in pink of course..)

We'd love to see you make something using layers - that can be as simple as matting and layering, right up to using lots of different papers etc!  The choice is yours..  but don't forget our number one rule - that you need to use MORE PINK THAN ANY OTHER COLOUR (with the exception of whites and neutrals of course), otherwise your entry may not be considered.

Here's what we came up with for some inspiration...
