Play Date Cafe Color Challenge!

I saw a card on pinterest, and I knew I had to try this technique!!  It's alot like the Triple Time Stamping that is so hot right now, but instead of using three layers, you simply stamp on one later, then cut them using Framelits!!  I used the Labels Framelits for mine:

It's hard to see in my picture, but each outer layer is a bit higher than the one previous!  So, the "thank you" layer is adhered right to my card base.  Then, the next (middle) layer is popped up with one dimensional.  The outside is popped up with two dimensionals!  It looks really cool in person!!

Items used:

Gently Falling & Sassy Salutations Stamp Sets

Ink:  Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze

Cardstock:  Whisper White

Misc:  Big Shot, Labels Framelits

Here's the color challenge I used from The Play Date Cafe:
