One Layer at "Less is More"


There's a DT call at Less is More this week, combined with our usual 
ONE LAYER CARD challenge.
So if CAS is your thing and you would be interested in joining us...head on over there and see the deets!

The theme this week is to include a stem. 
Here I have a digital coneflower image from the Wax Fruit Company, coloured with watercolour pencils and a water brush.
Simon Says Stamp - One Layer
Here's another digital image this time from  A Day for Daisies, once more coloured with watercolour pencils and blended with a water brush. This is such a good medium for colouring one layer cards as the colour doesn't usually bleed through to the inside of the card.
Computer generated sentiment.

My husband got a new car today... it's very shiny!

  18. Chrissie, you always have the best cards! I love both of these and I really love how the coloring turned out. Did you do that on regular card stock or water color paper?

  24. Beautiful one layer cards, those duckies are just adorable.
    Your hubby's card looks smashing, I love the new car smell, wish they made a spray or something to keep our cars smelling brand new because, after endless trips picking up grandkids from sports practices, getting the doggies back and forth from the park or vet, my van smells.....well.....enough said!!
    Thank you for sharing.
    Big Hugs,
