One Layer Challenge

Sorry for such a late post, but it has been one busy day! Lots of running around getting ready for the Christmas stamp-a-stack this weekend.

One layer cards are what we all create when we begin stamping. It is usually easy and beginning stampers feel more confident creating them. There is a current trend in stamping to create one layer cards again but with all of our expertise we now create more elegant one layer cards than when we first began stamping.

Amy had a challenge on Friday to create a one layer card. I thought it would be fun to see what I could come up with since I have not create a card like this in quite a while. I used a saying from Amy’s Christmas Sayings and paired it with the Christmas tree from Stampin’ Up’s Fun & Fast Notes. I stamped the saying first then masked it and stamped the tree. I like this simple card but I must say it is not my usual style. What do you think?

Will you try your hand at a 1 layer card? Thanks for looking and have a great evening.
