Congrats Grad-layering dies lesson 1

So, I am just having a blast with all the different classes at Altenew and when they offered the Layering dies 3d and more class I couldn't wait.  I have quite a few of the 3d dies from Altenew and learning how to use those as well as other dies in my stash is awesome. 

I so want to be able to grab any of my dies and just create. I have such a hard time using them for anything other than what they were made for.  I like that this class gives some out of the box ways to use them. 

For my first card I decided to use two different cover plates and layer them to create my background. I used the lots of dots and dainty blooms cover plates.  I decided on all white to keep it simple and clean. I also used the framed congrats die for my sentiment. 

Here is a close up of the cover plates. I really love how these two look together! My next purchase will be some of Altenew's two step cover plates.  I can't wait to give those a try!!
