The challenge is called One Layer Wednesday! After making cards with at least 3 layers, this was a definite challenge. OLW 37 is just sentiments or really - just words as definition stamps are allowed. To up the ante, I thought I'd do the Play Date Cafe Challenge 665 - the colours and inspiration (Quentin Blake) are just delightful.
Like my entry into CSC #23 - this card made me smile every step of the way. In fact, it made me smile through to another card. so quick, simple, so fun!
Here's a bit more detail about this card...
First, I put the "hi" mask on (Tim Holtz) and stamped over with Hero Arts Friends definition stamp inked with Spiced Marmalade and Shabby Shutters. I blended the colours a little. Then I stamped "thinking of you" (Stampin Up) and was delighted that all the fonts actually match!
Finally, the ribbon - just through 2 slits. Maybe I'll make a tutorial for that as it's really simple and I've not come acros on the web.
