One layer cards

The Less Is More and St Luke's Challenges are asking for one layer cards... here's my first entry.. I've another (similar) to share tomorrow.


I always find the 'ideas' part the hardest when making cards (I'm sure I'm not the only one!). Once I've got an idea, I'm away! It's harder on one layer cards, because you can't move things around the add or remove things. But once I'd picked my three stamps, loads of ideas popped into my head!

What do you think?

Challenges:
Less Is More - One layer with three stamps
St Luke's Charity Challenge - One layer

  10. It's an absolute stunner M! I think the secret of a one layer card is to make it look as if it has more layers (which sounds a bit mad but it's true!) and you've certainly achieved that here! Vicky x

  14. Such a sweet card M, I'm completely opposite...I have the idea without how to position things on the card!!! Like you say no room for manoeuvre with a OLC card though, not that you've had trouble here...fab design :0)

  17. I like the embossed border around your image - very elegant. I think LIM and St Luke's work really well together. Thanks for playing along with St Luke's Charity Card Challenge!
