I was inspired by Mustavcoffee to take part in the One layer Wednesday Challenge 17
Rules for OLW17 1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half. 2. Use a border stamp (or, if you don't have a border stamp, either create one by repeating a small stamp or consider this an excuse to go buy one!) Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.
OMG how hard was this? I ruined 4 (yes four!!) perfectly good card blanks trying to get this right, and I'm still not happy with it, but after using after that much card I felt I should submit it! lol
The Stamps are by PaperArtsy, the quote is from one of the new Hotpicks stamps HP1008, and the border stamp is from a borders set.
Simple is not always easier...lol. You are not alone in struggling to make those one layer cards. Lovely end result :) I just adore your style of card making.
ReplyDeleteHey, good for you Joanne, excellent card, Love it. It's a great challenge Susan sets:D
ReplyDeleteI like to practice on photocopy paper before I commit to card, not so expensive:D xx
Love the minimalist feel to this card.
ReplyDeleteit's a great card! love the pink under the sentiment!! making ol cards can be tricky ... there is nothing to hide our mistakes!! that's why I do both ... ol cards when it works and layers when I need to cover up my mistakes trying to make ol cards LOl!!!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand messing up cards to get one I like. I have however, begun to try to salvage the ones I can by converting them into layered cards! LoL!
ReplyDeleteI love the soft pink under the sentiment! Lovely card!
eek, I'd find that incredibly difficult Joanne. executed beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI think it's great, Joanne. VERY difficult to make simple cards - they always take me much longer than anything else I do, lol - the design has to be perfect or they don't work! You've done a great job of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I wish I were so brave, but I'm afraid I'm still making too many mistakes.
ReplyDeleteYou created a wonderul one layer beauty! It is perfect!! Usually I think I need more layers, so I don't know how I would do with one!!
