A One Layer Challenge

I am delighted to be the hostess for this weeks challenge at Stampotique and I'm inviting you to make something with just one layer. Personally I rarely make anything one layer so it was a challenge for me too!
I began with plain white card and masked off the central area and stamped Floral Swirl around the edges using a stamp positioning tool so as not to overlap or leave big empty spaces. I then stamped Lissi and lastly the sentiment Enjoy Life! I coloured using water colour pencils with different intensity in different places to hopefully give a feel of depth.
This card is now with a very special lady in Arizona, my word Lissi gets around!
I do hope you join in the challenge I can't wait to see your creations and don't forget you can win $30 Stampotique vouchers.
Wishing you a wonderful day, Sam xxx

    I love the way you "broke the rules" with this card. Not many people combine the vintage images with the bright colours and doodled, whimsical stamps of the border. Well done!
