I love one layer cards- but don't make them often enough as I do find it quite a challenge- never know when to stop! They are much more difficult to design than they look. Anyway, this is mine. I masked a white card blank and stencilled the circle in the middle using a Lavinia stencil and two colours of Distress Ink. Stamped the flower silhouette and sentiment (both Tom Holtz) using Versafine ink in Twilight as I wanted a softer look than black. That's it. I'm so happy as I didn't cover it with inky fingerprints which is what normally happens....
I'm looking forward to seeing the entries for this challenge so please join in if you can- if it's out of your comfort zone the why not give it a go anyway, you might surprise yourself, there's some fabulous inspiration over at Fab'n' Funky if you're stuck for ideas.
Thanks for visiting
