CCEE1843 True One-Layer Only

Joanne finishes up her month as hostess of the CCEE Stampers challenges by asking us to make a true one-layer card -- no layers, no pop-ups, no embellishments.  This is not my usual style of cards, but I'm always open to a challenge.  I do like masking and sponging, so that's what I did for this Thanksgiving card.  After taping some removable tape around the edges of the card, I sponged on some Ranger Distress Antique Linen ink and stamped the leaf down the side in three different colors.  It's one-layer but gives the impression of some dimension.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for some more one-layer creations.

Love this card, Lois! Such a great side stamp and in all the glorious colors of God's autumnal beauty. And I love all the white space - perfect for the sentiment!

You certainly do have dimension on this one layer card. Well done Lois! Love the colors that you've used on this too.
