Simon Says........One Layer

wed-newchallenge-header

It's Wednesday and that means a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog!


Our theme this week is "One Layer", and the DT are playing with Paper Smooches products.  

I think I've said this before, but I have great respect for those of you who can make a 1-layer card interesting.  I found this challenge quite challenging!


supplies: white cardstock, Paper Smooches Blossoming Buds stamp set, Simon Hydrangea, Hero Arts Bubble Gum, Wplus9 Silver Lining, and VersaFine Onyx Black inks, heart line die-cut, Paper Smooches Dashes die, Doodlebug Lily White Glitter sprinkles 

I masked my card diagonally and stamped a ditsy floral pattern, bordered it with lines of hearts and stitching to give it a lace-like edge, and then stamped my sentiment in the remaining area.  Lastly I stamped the 3 flowers near the sentiment and centered each with a sparkly enamel dot.

On my next card I inlaid my image and sentiment:


supplies: black and white cardstock, BoBunny dotted cardstocks in 2 greens, red, and yellow, Paper Smooches Adorable Array and Birthday Words dies, My Mind's Eye enamel dots

Now it's your turn!  I can't wait to see what you do this week!  We have a $50.00 gift certificate for one random winner of our challenge!
