One Layer Wednesday #54


In my web surfing I stumbled upon a new card website called Simplicity. A card blog designed around keeping things simple. My favorite philosophy.. less is more.

Their challenge is one layer.. yah one layer you can't add additional papers... nothing. Oh wow.. this got the mind thinking. The theme is make a baby card based off a some really cool cakes.

Mine didn't quite turn out to look like the cakes but I did create something sweet that I won't be embarrassed to give away.



My creative brain is starting to really kick into gear now, this was the first card I created that was actually what I envisioned. I'm proud about that. Never have I been able to get what I'm thinking out on paper, so needless to say I'm excited. Who knew this practicing thing really works?

Course this begs the question.. Do we want what I'm thinking down on paper?
