First Ever One Layer Christmas Cards Challenge!



Looking for my CASology GD card? Scroll down or click here.

Hi friends! 
This is already my second post for today... Busy day at Runaway Cards! :)

You might have noticed the new DT badge on my sidebar: I'm very happy to be part of the design team of a new challenge blog called One Layer Christmas Card Challenge! We have 2 challenges for you every month. The challenges are always anything goes with an optional twist -this time it's "red". If you follow the twist you have a chance to win a prize that's drawn once a month!  

I created the ornament in my card by first sponging pink ink through a die cut aperture. I then placed a Simon Says Stencil on top of the sponged ornament (my die cut mask still in place) and stenciled flowers with darker red ink. The string and bow are stamped with stamps by Papertery Ink... And the sentiment (heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum) comes from STAMPlorations set Christmas Flower. Several of One Layer Christmas DT girls used this flower in their cards by the way, don't forget to check them out here! I'm very excited to be in this new design team with all these talented ladies. I hope to see you joining us and playing along!

I'd like to join these challenges:

    Oh gosh,I'm so bad at making one layers myself, but you make it seem so easy.
    But I love making Christmas cards, so it's tempting to give it a go. I can't promise my card will end up in the challenge, it's more likely to be found in the trash....

    Love this CAS card, Nonni! Such a pretty ornament and a great design. And here you were worried about making one layered cards. Totally unecessary! :-)
