This small set of three stamps (one not shown today) jumped right into my cart at Michael's last week.
I wonder how that happens?
Anyway, making a one-layer card with brand new stamps made me happy.
I hope it makes you happy, too.
Supplies
stamps: Hero Arts, SU (sentiment)
ink: VersaMagic sea breeze, lime, sahara sand
paper: PTI white
accessories: stamp positioner
such sweetness...love the colours you used...fun idea to post links to our olc cards...sometimes not always an easy do for me.
ReplyDeleteLove the card and idea to make a card and link. :)
ReplyDeletePerfection, as usual.
ReplyDeleteLove the card and the idea!!
ReplyDeleteIt is late Wednesday night here but I might just play along and share tomorrow :)
Very pretty card. And, as usual, just amazing to me that so simple looks so good. Sometimes I look at those many-layered cards in the galleries, and think how great it is that there's another way to do it. Thank goodness for you!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea, and the colors...!!!
ReplyDeleteooooh, what a great idea!! I will totally try to play along on Wednesdays!! I love how I'm not the only one who seems to attract stamps when I walk around in carts!! Hehehe!! Those leaves are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAAAhhh, very soothing and happy. What a great idea - OLW. I will try to do your challenge but I am so horrible at one layers. They make me nervous. I can never decide where things ought to be placed - especially the sentiment. Could you help us with that some time? And when you made this card, which tree did you do first?
ReplyDelete@Donelda...yeah, we must have some sort of weird magnetic field that pulls stamps off shelves and into our immediate vicinity. Bit annoying, really. But what can you do?
ReplyDelete@Susie...I started with the middle tree and worked out from there with a stamp positioner since these are wood-mounted stamps. And yes, I'll try to give tips on OLC design in future One-Layer Wednesday posts. Would have done it today but got lots to do! Real life gets in the way sometimes, doesn't it?
One Layer Wednesdays will be SUCH a treat. I would love seeing the cards of others too...... seems like this community might be the ONLY place where One-Layer cards are The Goal.
ReplyDeleteOne Layer Wednesdays! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to play along :o)
I'm in for OLC Wednesdays!! Fun, fun, fun! This is really pretty - I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteOkay, but for us greenhorns, you'll have to tell us just how to share our "creations" with you!
ReplyDeleteThis might teach you a valuable lesson about asking people to share their stuff. ;)

Susan, you've inspired me this morning! I love the idea of OLCs, so I tried one myself this morning! It's on my blog - ratherbecraftin.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration and hope everyone is having a great week!
Simple and so gorgeous! Congrats on being featured in Hero Arts Twitter!
ReplyDeleteSimple, cute, easy - love it!

ReplyDeletelove the stamps and the colors and the card!!
ReplyDeleteyou are the best!
thanks, marty ferraro
I love making one layer cards. One of my all time favorite techniques is masking and layering. Here is a link to a card I made just a little while ago... enjoy, the Oz

What a lovely card! And a great idea to have One-Layer Wednesday -- already there's been a chance to see other great OLCs. If only my creativity train hadn't left the station when the PMS Express rolled in... :P
ReplyDeleteFun idea to get readers to post their cards! I always love seeing everyone's ideas. Your post motivated me to get some pictures taken so I could post a few cards. http://sewscrapandstamp.blogspot.com/2010/04/one-layer-cards.html
ReplyDeleteSusan G....FABULOUS! Big grin! That totally appeals to the rebel in me!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sue, I adore your card! Both of them are soooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card as always!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration and another excuse to get our craft on!
You inspired me to make a one layer card, which can be very challenging.
here's a link if you want to check it out:

Thanks for the challenge! Yours was super!
LeAnne
I've had that same experience of things jumping into my cart, especially at Stamp Shows! (although at a show, they jump into my tote bag.) If I ever figure out how that happens, I'll let you know! Meanwhile, your Simplicity designs are wonderful, and this one is no exception.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne and kasia....two more beautiful card! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOH Wow! now a one layer card I could do on Wednesday. I never get to create during the week work full time. Only 36 more days!!! But I think I can get a one layer card done.
ReplyDeleteIs it too late for this week? I am off today for an appointment.
I love the idea!
Susan if you haven't stopped by my blog I am having a celebration and I would love to have you stop by.

Ok I got two done. This is a wonderful idea Susan!
ReplyDeletehere's mine
What a great idea to share OLC ideas. Even though they couldn't be simpler, they challenge me. I will have to give your ideas a try every Wednesday. Well... not actually on Wednesday since that's my busiest day at work... but sometime within the week!
ReplyDeleteI like your line up of leaves and how you alternated colors.
Oh Susan, I'm so thrilled with One-layer Wednesdays. It's going to be so much fun! My card can be found at I SPI. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. You can find my one layer creations here
ReplyDeleteHooray, hooray for a new challenge!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed this one.
Off to play the next one.
