Sorry - I forgot ......

Besides needing the challenge to be creative, I love challenges as they give me real reasons (excuses?) to be making cards in my cave!

So, here is a one layer card I made that I'll enter in two challenges:  One-Layer Simplicity and CAS Sunday.


CAS cards are quite a challenge for me.  Other than the requirement to Just Add Water for the One-Layer Simplicity challenge, the theme could be anything.      duh......  think, think, think......

Since I am always needing birthday cards and more often belated birthday cards, I thought I'd use my little "Sorry - I forgot .... " stamp in between the tall leaves and cattails.




This was my first attempt at spritzing water on an inked stamp.  Not bad, but I think I will try flowers next.  I like the water color look.


Challenges:
Clean and Simple on Sunday
Challenge #29 One Layer Wonder


One-Layer Simplicity #3
Just Add Water


Take care,
Kathy

One-Layer Simplicity Challenge

Gosh, another challenge!   If we have more snow days, I'll be able to keep up this pace -- doubtful, but we are expecting more snow this weekend.   Don't know if that is good or bad....

The One-Layer Simplicity Challenge is just that - one layer.  The card stock is folded in half with no other layers of paper.  Sounds easy and simple, but not really.    No other requirements for this one except to make a card to restock my card stash.  

A couple days ago I posted another challenge card using this same stamp and sponging.  However, I changed it a little.  I stamped and sponged within an oval shape on an off-white card with black ink and used my watercolor pen to fill in the flowers and leaves with Versa Magic inks.  Then I covered the flowers with the flower mask and sponged within the oval mask. 

I did not add a sentiment -- hope that is okay.  I use a lot of blank cards.

Happy Weekend!
