Just 'THE ONE'

Our HOSTESS for this weeks Wild Card Challenge

over at JUST US GIRLS  is the very talented

SHARYN

and she has chosen

A ONE LAYER CARD.

 

As with a lot of us we tend to shy away from them

because it is so much easier to add things.

Am I not right???

Well this got me thinking and it took me a

wee while to come up with something 'simple'

So here is what I made.

 

 

I got to ink up a couple of stamps

that I had in my stash but lay dormant.

Thanks Sharyn for making me search

for something suitable.

Products I used are -

Basic card stock

Floral/leaves stamps are from

Gina K Designs and Stampin' Up.

Tim Holtz Distress Ink in

Antique Linen Abandoned Coral

Peacock Feather Cracked Pistachio

Sentiment is Casual Fridays Stamps.

I was going to either score or add a line

either side of the sentiment but thought

better of it as so many times I just want to

add one more thing and I spoil it so....

I left well enough alone.

 

This is the last week for our

October Guest Julie Gearinger

who has contributed some beautiful cards

for us this month. Thanks Julie.

Till next time

 



Making it for 'MONDAY'

 

Over at Make My Monday Challenge Blog

they have this fabulous challenge and it

just so happens that the colours and theme

chosen was right up my alley.

 

 

 

I love the colour Teal, playing with stencils

(not a requirement) sequins and twine.

The stamp set I used is from

Stampin' Up called Lotus Blossom

and just love how it makes a cas card

look fabulous.

I just used white and a turquoise coloured cs

then inked my images (which there are 3 + stem)

with Memento Teal Zeal and

Stampin' Up Baja Breeze twice.

The second time I stamped off the ink

then onto the centre of the flower which is

showing with just enough colour.

I then inked up my Tim Holtz Speckles

stencil using Peacock Feathers

and colours above.

I found that the distress inks didn't

work well on these stamps.

My sentiment is from Gina K Designs

Springtime Silhouettes.

Finished off with the rest of the recipe

with sequins and variegated twine.

 

I just loved this challenge and hoping I get time to

play again before the blog close.
