barely there


This week's challenge at One Layer Wednesday is "barely there" and the challenge is to use a bare tree.
Unbelievably I actually have very few bare tree stamps. This one is a paperbag studio one that I've had for ages! The quote is from Scrolls Work. I stamped the tree in cosmic copper brilliance ink and the quote in versafine black. I then shaded the corners of the quote box, which seems to somehow lift it off the card, don't ask me to explain how!

  2. Fabulous. Looooove that it's only one layer, but has so much interest. AND... I finally got my issue of CS, and your article is fantastic. What a great collage technique, I will definitely be making some cards using yours as inspiration in the coming weeks. Thanks for sharing! ;)

  10. When I saw your card I thought two things - "Wow, that's stunning" and "Hey, I have both those stamps too". Love what you did with them.
