Only one layer??? Are you serious???

 Well, it wasn't easy, but I managed to make a card that only has one layer!! I used JJ Pregnant from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo line to make my card for this week's challenge at Totally Stampalicious. The card base is Sahara Sand and the inks used for the stamped design on the border are chocolate chip, close to cocoa, and tempting turquoise. I used the rock and roll technique on some of the flowers from a clear set from Our Craft Lounge. Sponged an oval shape using the negative space from a Nestabilities oval and colored the image with Copic markers. A little bow finishes it off. I have to make a confession though. I will have to add a layer to the inside because I forgot that the Copics bleed through cardstock!!! JJ is just as visible on the inside and that won't do!!! I think this is the only one layer card I've made since I first started stamping about eight years ago!! Definitely a challenge!!!

  1. You did an amazing job with just one layer, not sure I would have been able to and if I did, it would be just a plain old stamp. This is so cute and love how you handled making your own background.
