It's ONE LAYER CARD week again over at the Simply Less Is More challenge blog.
The theme for this week is LEAVES.
It is true, I have become quite comfortable with one layer cards. When I saw this challenge, I decided to stamp a variety of leaf images in a variety of fall colors around a leaf die cut which would be used as a mask. The leaf image would be revealed when the die cut was removed. Well, that really bombed. It looked awful. I wasn't ready to give up though, so I did it in reverse and stamped inside the cutout. That worked really well.
I stamped an image of small leaves and acorns from PTI's Autumn Abundance in fall colors inside the cutout, then sponged lightly with green to pop it. When I removed the cutout, this lovely leaf revealed itself. I added some score lines on top, rounded the corners, stamped my sentiment, and my creation was complete.
I am going to head over to the LIM blog to see the fabulous creations that the Limettes have made. Thanks for stopping in today. Thanks for dropping by!

Stephanie, who makes that leaf die? I love the size of it and the card you've created with it is exceptionally pretty!! Love the fallish colors!
I am sitting here laughing at your bomb. I bet I have a box full. LOLOLOL How elegant and that's one layer? I don't think I could do that. TFS for the instructions. I am going to try that with something, just not sure what!!
Lovely clean and simple design! The scored lines at the top add so much interest, and I love how your masking turned out.
