I decided to play along with the ModSquad Challenge “Layer Me Not” to create a one layer card. Challenge can be seen here: http://modsquadchallenge.com/
I taped off the edges of the card base on all sides with washi tape and then using versamark stamped a StampinUp stamp From the Garden image and added the sentiment from GKD’s Dogwood & Butterfly illustrated by Theresa Momber then heat embossed in GKD’s fine detail gold embossing powder.
The idea of this card came from Yana Smakula’s Modern One-Layer Floral Card with Simon Says Stamp.
My original card in navy and gold is below but it seemed too dark to me so I went with the white and gold.
Thanks for looking.

Now I really like the dark one. Both are very striking and I love one layers for mailing.
Thanks, Bonnie, I like it when I first made it then decided I didn’t like it. I’ll always be my own worse critic. LOL!
Love both of them!
Thanks, Diana, One layer cards are always a struggle for me.
These are both so striking, there’s no way to pick a favorite.
You are good for my soul, Gerry, thanks so much for the positive feedback.
I love them both. I think the blue has more visual impact but both are lovely
Thanks, Johanna, I appreciate the support. The navy card was more of a CASE of the one Yana did on grey with gold but she is such a beautiful designer and always makes it look easy.
These are beautiful!
Thanks so much for commenting, Golda. I appreciate your support.
This is beautiful! I love the gold one, however, they are both gorgeous.
Love both cards, Gayle, but the first one is definitely my favourite!
