OLW33 Home Decor

This week's One-Layer Wednesday Challenge is Home Decor! if  you have a stamp of furniture or other home decor elements (picture frames, vases, etc.) use it, or, if you don't have such a stamp, use an element of your actual home decor as inspiration (in that case please take a picture of the inspiration piece as well).

I got carried away with color variations (love those Memento inks!), but all four of these are basically the same card. I just can't pick a favorite, so I'm showing them all!





These cards all use the A Muse large oval for the table top, a Hero Arts lamp from the Decorative Lamp set, and a sentiment from Papertrey's Round and Round Anniversary set. Oh, and a single small rhinestone. Just because.

Inking the lamp with two colors was easy with the Memento Dew Drop ink pads. It's pretty easy to control the ink placement with those little darlings!

OLW33 Rules

1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half.

2. If you have one, use a home decor stamp, such as a piece of furniture, vase, or light fixture. If you don't have such a stamp, go shopping (you have my permission!) OR use a piece of your own home decor to inspire your card. If you use an inspiration piece, please include a photo of it on your blog post. Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.

3. Upload your card somewhere online and link to it using the OLW33 InLinkz button on the sidebar of Simplicity.

4. The most important rule of all: HAVE FUN!

  7. I can't decide either. At first I liked the blue best but then I think the pink is the best ... but that orange is pretty terrific, but then there is the green ... awesome cards!!!

  9. What clever little designs, the rhinestone on top is a nice finishing touch. I can't think of any home decor stamps in my collection, but I will do a search and if not, I'll just look around me for inspiration.

  12. Although I love blue and pink, something about the green one makes my eyes stay focused on it longer-make sense? Grin

I am finally satisfied with my attempts to create OL christmas cards and made three of them. YOU were my inspiration and I want to take this chance to thank you. THANK YOU SUSAN. BTW these four cards, ROCK!!! I went scrolling up and down many times just to look at all the colours. Beautiful!
