I was looking for some inspiration today and stopped by 'Simplicity By Late Blossom' where I always find it and decided to play along with the OLW challenge. One Layer is something I like to do, don't have a problem with that, but this week it's a masculine card, something I always do have trouble with...and one layer ?!?
So here we go..
I punched the shape out of the sticky end of a post-it-note and adhered it towards the centre of my card, then stamped the stree image from Tree-MEN-dous with Frayed Burlap and lightly sponged with Forest Moss. Peeled away the sticker and added my sentiment.
I didn't think I was going to get any stamping in today because our septic tank was blocked this morning, and once nothing is going down the drain you don't put anything else in! So no showers, no washing, no nothing lol! Luckily DH worked out how to fix it by lunch time and we didn't have to call in a plumber and so saved on the weekend rates!! So today was a good day to celebrate the male in our lives...it's just not his brithday yet lol!
Hope you're having a wonderful start to your weekend!
Hugs,






Oh I just love this card! Wonderful idea to mask off the sentiment area. I must remember this.

Hi Andrea. I just love the soft sponging on this.

What an amazing layout! I love the sentiment in the middle of the design like this and the way you rounded opposite corners!

Awesome OLC Andrea! I really love how you created the sentiment panel... and still kept it one layer! Isn't it nice to have clever men around us, they really can be the quiet achievers!

This is a great card Andrea! One would never think you have trouble with one layer or male cards by the look of this :)
