Here is Pinkfresh Studio March 2023 Challenge - Layers, below is the challenge photo:

 


And here is the mini slimline card I made to attend this challenge:


For the background, I applied Pinkfresh Studio's Diamond Plaid stencils set with Distress Oxide inks to make the background. Then I swiped Versamark ink pad around the background and gold embossed the border. For the flower image, I gold embossed Pinkfresh Studio's Garden Roses stamp on watercolor paper. I applied ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens to watercolor the flowers and leaves, then I used the matching die to cut it out. Since the image is pretty large, so I crop out the top portion of the flowers and used the bottom portion of the image. I foam mounted it on the background. I stamped the greeting on top of the card. Finish the card by attaching some green and blue glitter drops on the background. Below is another look of the card:
