My blogging friend Chrissie has introduced me to One Layer Wednesday via her blog and I have entered their challenge this week for the first time. The challenge is to take inspiration from a page of cards designed by Walther Erhard and my starting point was the ornament card to the left. I bought some cheap-as-chips but very good Viva Christmas stamps from Stamp Attic, my local shop a couple of weeks back and I gave them an outing for the challenge. I embossed using 4 different powders and managed to keep the textured card pretty clear of irritating embossed specks:).That led on to a second one-layer card not related to the first. Same Viva holly flourish, but this time I've brushed Distress Inks onto a centre strip after clear embossing a large Viva text stamp. I planned to gold emboss the text but decided I like it best as it is.
Ornament Branch:
One Layer Wednesday - inspiration
Paper Pretties - clean & simple
Distressed Text:
Paper Sundaes - adorn those corners!
I Did It - surprise me
Crazy 4 Challenges - script paper or folder (hope the stamped text counts!)
This is a lovely take on the inspiration card!

Both of these are simple but elegant. A one layer card can be beautiful, too.
