Resolutions




I read on someone's blog that their NewYear's resolution was to try to join challenges other then the ones they design for. That really struck a chord with me. I realized I hadn't joined any challenges other then my own for several months.  Sooooo, I decided to try and be more active in other challenges myself.

One-Layer Wednesday has had a make over and they are now known as One-Layer Simplicity, a monthly one layer card challenge. The  challenge this month is "restocking our shelves", whether it is birthday cards, all occasion, thank you. They want us to create a set of one layer cards to restock our stash.

I picked up this Hero Arts stamp on sale at Michaels. I can't even find this stamp on the net except at E-bay, so it probably is no longer available. I remember seeing a card where the image came down from the top. I stamped at the top of my card and using copic markers I created an ombre effect. Is ombre still hot? Some times I am just so behind the trends!

Here are the cards individually with the copic colors I used.

Y23, YR12, YR15

B00, B02, B14
R30, R32, R35
YG 01, YG03, YG05


I hope you find the time to participate at the new and improved One-Layer Simplicity Challenge.

I am entering this at Simply Create Too where this challenge- "anything goes!". 

Happy Creating!

Not sure if my original comment posted, so I'll try again. This is absolutely stunning. I am going to try this idea myself. I love the way you had the colors at the top and the sentiment at the bottom. Your cards jumped right out at me from the OLS challenge line up.

Your card is one of my favorites so far. I can't decide which color I love best. Like you, I hope to take part in more challenges this year...challenging myself!
