Sometimes stepping outside of our artistic comfort zone is good for us. That is exactly what I had to do with today’s One Layer card. It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players.
This week, the talented Elizabeth is hosting our Sketch Challenge. Her challenge: create a One Layer card. For a “More Layers the Merrier” gal like me, this was a challenge indeed. But I do have to admit, it ended up being fun. I can’t wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tip
For my One Layer card, I knew I wanted to use a floral image and a bold sentiment. That’s when I remembered the Corner In Bloom stamp set which I earned during Sale-A-Bration earlier this year. It was perfect for the look I wanted to achieve. I inked it up with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and stamped it into the corner of my card base. Coloring it was easy using Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather Stampin’ Blends for the flowers; Soft Sea Foam for the leaves; and Lemon Lolly for the centers of the flowers. The sentiments, from Gallery Blooms were also inked in Tuxedo Black Memento. I then outlined the word “Bloom” and all of the flowers with a Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. Although it does not show up in the photo, a wee bit of sparkle was added to the flowers with a Jelly Roll pen.
