all about the one layer card!

I have recently come to realize that I am in LOVE with the one layer card. I find myself dreaming up all the different ways to make one. It also seems to be a common theme in the cardmaking world right now. Kristina Werner has put out a challenge to create a one layer card. Since I couldn't stop I have a couple to show you!
First up is a very simple one using a stamp I have been itching to try out. I think this peacock was screaming to be "copic"ed (bad word creation!). I really like the look of copics on kraft cardstock.
The peacock stamp is from Unity and the sentiment Hero Arts. Copics used were R32, R35 & R37.

For my second card, I first created this on kraft then thought maybe it would look better brighter, so i created it on white as well. I still can't decide which I like better.

For this card I punched out a heart from Nestabilities, and used the negative to mask off the card base. Then I stamped the Hero Arts woodgrain background stamp. I wanted to place a sentiment but straight across the top or bottom just didn't look right so I attempted to round it around the heart.

Thanks for visiting, I have another card to share later.  :)

  5. These are fantastic, but really like your red peacock, it stood out gracefully in the gallery submissions (yeah!) and I had to stop by and see. Love the rest of your blog as well, you've got great style!
