Last month when the One Layer Challenge came around at "Less is More" I merrily went ahead and made a Splatter card... forgetting that it was one layer week... this month ... guess what.. I did exactly the same thing. I was so anxious to use this Kaisercraft stamp that all thought of the one layer element left my mind. Anyway here is take 2!
The sentiment is from Paper Smooches which I think fits the theme beautifully!
Using my MISTI helps enormously to get the stamp square on to the card... always a tricky process!
Here is the version where I forgot about the one layer!
I really must be getting old!
I'm going to link this one to the the challenge at Twofers challenge as their theme is clocks/time
Why not join in the fun!
Not sure I'll ever overcome my hatred (!) of one layer week :p but your top card could make me change my mind. So full of impact with the black and silver colour scheme, it really looks fab. Your first non-OLC attempt is great and it must have been gutting to remember about one layer week after! Brilliant inspiration cards both of them, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThat Kaisercraft stamp is perfect for our theme this week, Chrissie! I love both cards which are full of drama with the black card base and fab fonts. Have a great week x
ReplyDeleteYour happy accident (aka forgetful brain) has really showcased that Kaisercraft stamp Chrissie! Love the different looks that you achieved with it and as always, both are clean, crisp and elegant. So glad you added the non-one layer one. I'd forgotten that I have that one in my stash - must dig it out. P.S. I have to do a double check EVERY week before I make my samples just to be sure I don't miss the one layer - I must be getting old too ;-)

What beauty! From the colors you chose to the layout, this is a keeper for sure.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Chrissie.....I love how you forget it's just one layer sometimes too......not just me then he he ;) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who makes this mistake!! Well, I love both versions. Great challenge,

Hahaha...you and I think alike, or we are both getting old! Terrific cards!!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a beautiful stamp ion both cards! I am glad that I have to cut my paper first, so that is the point I check the challenge again...it helps me...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend and have a sunny and colourfull week!
Fabulous cards Chrissie, the embossed design against the black is stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to remember a theme when you are so engrossed with what you are doing, I do it all the time too, are we old? nah I think it happens to everyone, haha ;-)
luv

Fantastic cards Chrissie, love all that silver clockwork embossing against the black - such a classy take and perfect for the guys. In fact both great masculine ideas and always makes me giggle when you slip up on the OLC! You're not the only one though ;) - Oh your link isn't working for some reason from LIM! Have a great week. xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards,just shows how different one stamp can look,Debbs xx
ReplyDeleteI have that stamp Chrissie and I love it. Both your cards as fabulous. I also forget the rules sometimes - once you get an idea in your head it's full steam ahead and it's not till you've finished you realise you haven't followed the speck.

ReplyDeleteSimply delicious. Makes me want to get my heat gun out. I would have kept the second card for another challenge!!!
ReplyDeleteI love them both, but I think the contrast on the second shows off the watch faces more clearly. Or maybe I identify with it more because I'm so bad at stamping in white on black, I always end up with a grey mess, so even though you have very much NOT done that, the first one reminds me of all my failed attempts to make it look that good! Many thanks for joining us at Twofers

Funny thing to me one lay is the epitome of CAS! Both versions of your card are fab and so pleased you have joined us at Twofers. XOXO
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie and thanks for the visit. I love both your interpretations of the time theme, the black and white one in particular caught my eye. I do like a B and W theme, always looks so classy.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting!
Hugs Erika. x
Snap - I did the same - did a card which wasn't one layer - had to redo it! Nice challenge
