The challenge theme at A Blog Named Hero this month is "one layer" - and I must admit this is not easy for me to do. So I put on my thinking cap and thought of ways I could give my card some dimension, texture and interest without adding layers.
First I used a large woodgrain stamp with a light tan ink to create my background. Then added a variety of leaves - the little ones are from 2016 September MMH and the large one is a wood block stamp (HA) I've had for ages. HA also has Color Layering Grateful Leaves which has lovely fall leaves which could also be used. Picked out a selection of orange and gold inks and stamped my pattern. The sentiment (also from September 2016 MMH kit) was stamped in black and embossed in clear. Added some Spectrum Noir to all the leaves and a few copper Nuvo drops and done.
Hope you will find some wonderful ways to create a one layer card and enter our monthly challenge here - and be eligible to win a great prize from our sponsor this month.
