Hi crafters! I have used the Alice Triple Layering die here to create an offset ombre background. I cut the top layer of the Alice die in white, Arctic Blue, Sky Blue and Bluebell. I cut a piece of white card and added a sticky adhesive sheet to it. I peeled the backing paper off then laid down my Alice dies in the colour listed, slightly offsetting each one. For the remaining exposed areas of adhesive, I added Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz for a bit of bling. Next I used the Spiral Pearl Flowers and layered them up with white on top, powder pink in the middle and Old Rose as the base colour. I formed the petals to give a bit of dimension and seated them in the corner with white leaves as accents around them. I cut a couple of Splendid Swirls in white and added them to embellish the florals. I cut the Happy Birthday Shadowed sentiment in Powder Pink card and added it to a white shadow then glued it in the upper portion of the card. The card was completed with white, old rose and Arctic blue mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Alice certainly has many strings to her bow, you've given us another beautiful start to our week. I've seen Alice used so differently on our/your fb group and some gorgeous cards have been made and I can only imagine that those recipients of the cards have been thrilled and amazed. A bright pretty sample for a bright sunny Monday. Hope your day is equally bright and sunny xxx
I want to thank you so much for your lovely messages yesterday I was really touched. When I mentioned your kindness to Andy (my keeper) lol named by a blog friend he too said "how lovely to think people we don't know can be so kind a thoughtful " So a big thank you from us both" I had a dietastic day lol xxx

Good. Morning Sue
Beautiful card! I love the triple layering dies they are so versatile, you can change the look completely just by using different colours in each layer. The flowers are gorgeous and finish off your card perfectly.

Morning Sue, what a stunning card. I do like the way in which you have off set Alice and those shades of blue are lovely. I promised myself that I wouldn't buy anymore card until I'd used up most of my card stash, but your latest colours including the rose pinks etc are so pretty, so I might just have to break it.
Have a good week. Hugs xx Pauline

Hi Sue
A beautiful card and colours.

A beautiful card and die too. I now have Alice in my paws but have only used her once so far. I need to try doing this method now. I liked her because I thought she would make a very plain background or a very fancy one therefore making for lots of use.
Hugs Helen xxx
What a lovely background effect. Beautiful card.
