A One Layer Card

Good morning...at least I'm hoping it is!  This winter has been a blast....of nothing but snow and cold weather.  I'm surely looking forward to spring.  If you are spending lots of time inside crafting, perhaps you can join us this week in our challenge at Charisma.  The theme this week is One Layer Cards. 


So, as you can see....there are no added layers or embellishments.  I've used 3 different stamps with black ink, some blue chalk for shading, some glitter, and lots of doodling...all with glitter pens.  The oval shape border was created by tracing around a Spellbinder's die, while for the zigzag border I used a stencil.

Stamps used
Queen Anne's Wildflowers Silhouette - from Sweet Stamps
Butterfly from the Inkadinkado - Garden Flower set
Sentiment from the Hero Arts - Sending Smiles set

This week we have two lovely sponsors, once again with some wonderful prizes:

Prize One

(offering one lucky winner the choice of 5 Digi's)


Prize Two

(offering another lucky winner the choice of 5 Digi's)

I'm really looking forward to seeing your creations this week, and don't forget to check out the rest of the DT cards for more inspiration.  Have a great day!
