One layer.


Do you ever make 1 layer cards?  Do you find it easy?  I find it pretty difficult to created enough interest on a card with no layers - I think my foam squares were feeling a bit put out that they stayed in their drawer for this one :)  But they call them "challenges" for a reason, right?  And it's the new one over at the lawnscaping blog.


I have to admit that I planned this one out completely in my head before I ever put ink to paper.  I stamped the banner and the cat images and then created masks for them so that I could stamped the word "meow" repeatedly in shades of grey.  The sentiment and envelope pattern background in pink, and it's one cool & girly card.  (My husband did question the coolness of it, but what does he know about cards, really.)





Supply list
stamps: (lawn fawn) bannerific, critters in the 'burbs, smitty's abcs, (hero arts) envelope pattern background
paper: (PTI) grid lines cardstock
ink: memento black, (SU) basic grey, going grey, blushing bride, various copics
