Single Layer Card Winners

Hello friends!

Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun of our "Single Layer Card" challenge.  It's not as easy as it sounds, is it?  Doing away with any layer and creating directly onto the card base takes courage, at least for me it does.  We thoroughly enjoyed seeing your creations and as always, were inspired.

Without further ado the Top Sister Award goes to:
Wonderful clean design.  Love the pop of color!

And in no particular order, Top Three awards go to:
Awesome way to incorporate Mixed Media techniques into card making.

Wonderful coloring and love the hand doodled border.

Such a CAS card, yet so very elegant and love the little pops of color.

Congratulations ladies.  Don't forget to pick up your winner badges in the upper right hand corner and be sure to stop back tomorrow for our new challenge.  This time going the complete opposite of our single layer challenge with "Lots of Layers".

Single Layer Cards

Hello everyone and welcome to another fun challenge!  

As much as I love clean and simple cards, my cards always have layers.  Always!  Even if it's just ONE layer.  I think it's a safety net for me.  I never tend to stamp directly onto the actual card base because it never fails that I mess up.  And a stamped image with a border backing layer will always spiffy a card up.  So this challenge really made me stretch.

The challenge is to create a SINGLE LAYER CARD!  No layers, no backing (frame) layer, nothing but the actual card base.  You can add embellishments, ribbons, brads or washi tape, etc.  It does not have to be a card, a tag is perfectly ok.

And folks, I had a blast and am absolutely in love with my SINGLE LAYER CARD!  
But first, let's welcome our September Step-Sisters and check out their wonderful creations:
