Crafty Ho's 2nd Challenge

Hi there! Today's Crafty Ho's Challenge is to make a Single Layer Card. To join in on the fun at Crafty Ho's Challenges, check out our blog HERE, so you can see the rules and link up your own entry! Hope you like my card for this challenge!


For my card I decided to make it look like it was matted (even though it is not!) by drawing a black box around the sentiment with a fine point Sharpie! I embossed (- yeah...the powder and heat gun way...not  the dry embossed/Cuttlebug way!) using a large floral background stamp from Great Impressions, in order to give the flat card some dimension. The main image (the sentiment) is from Stampin Up! I chose the color palette for my card from CCEE Stampers color challenge. I combined the CCEE challenge with the other challenges listed below.

This card is way too cute - very simple and clean - my favorite kind of card! The buttons are awesome - I love different kinds of buttons! Thanks for playing along with us at Tellen's Place! ;D
