One layer Challenge

Over on One Layer Challenge this week the spec is:


This week's OLW expands on my strategy for making lots of Christmas cards fast without mass producing. There are three requirements in addition to the use of a single layer of card stock:

1) use ONLY a sentiment stamp on your card...no other stamps or embellishments allowed!

2) use a NON-STANDARD size for your card

3) make at least two cards using the same stamp that vary something (color, type of ink, technique, placement of the stamp, size of card)

OH Boy!!!

Here are mine. Forgive the highly reflective photo, but, I did want to capture the mirror card!

There are endless possibilities for this challenge, great fun!






The cards are small, just 9.5cm square [Just under 4"]
I do llike small cards, although I tednd not to make them too much!
The sentiment is PTI

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving such FAB comments

Both cards look VERY sophisticated - this has to be the epitome of Less Is More!

How did I miss this? - I love these one layer challenges! Yours are brilliant, especially the first. I have no idea how you did it but the word 'fabulous' looks as if you've made it with bakers twine! Vx

Oh how delightful!!!! The mirror card is very dramatic and perfect for the sentiment, and the scallop edges on the first two really up the interest beautifully!
