I am so excited to be hosting a challenge for the first time! Thanks Jen for organizing this day of challenges. My challenge for you is this:
Make a card using only one piece of card stock � NO LAYERS! Use coloring, sponging, masking, ink, anything to give the illusion of layers, but you may not use a second piece of card stock, vellum, patterned paper, etc.
Keyword: LSC59G
Limit: Only 1 piece of card stock
Stamps: Any
Card Stock: Any color, but only 1 piece
Ink: Any
Embellishments: Any
Please remember to put LSC59G in your KEYWORDS box when you upload your card, so that we can find your card & leave comments.
Here is a sample card that I made this week: //www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=258878&cat=500&ppuser=43494 Here are some other samples from the gallery:

Also, Dartella has several very stunning watercolor ones in her gallery.
If you have questions, please ask. Remember there are no time limits and no prizes. This is all about having fun. Thank you for playing in my challenge. I can�t wait to see what you create!
Well this will be a very interesting challenge for me! Will have to step outside my box and see what I can do! Thanks for this awesome challenge Melody!

OK, Melody. I think I did it. It was a struggle and I have ink on my fingers, but this was a great way to finish out the night. I must go spend quality time with the fam before they disown me!
Well it sure knocks off some time without having to cut all the layers. Thank you for the make me think challenge but the best part is I will probably make this card again: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Off to get some ice cream to cool off those smokin' brain cells and look at everyone elses cards. I hope all my comments put me over the Diecut Diva title. Think I will steal Rox's idea from last night and whichever post moves my title up will get a lovely RAK prize!
Whacha got on it that they won't let you upload it?
Everybody hates me today! The upload page just keeps working and working and working...even the energizer bunny would be wore out my now! Maybe it doesn't like duckys!
Well, I woke up this morning and found four copies of this card in the gallery! Oh Geez the card isn't that great! So I deleted three of them and uploaded the photo again. So Jen70, Vicky Gould and Chaper thanks for the comments but you are now gone with the deleted photos.
Thanks for the challenge Melody, I hadn't done this in a long time.
I loved this challenge Melody. Something new for me. I was inspired by Barb and Jen's layering cards. I had a fun time doing this card and it was so easy. You gotta love Post-its.
Wow.. okay there are several of you with these and from reading the description it is done with post it notes? And then sponging? How do you keep the color from bleeding under the note a little. Everyones lines are so straight. I am just amazed.

WOW! I am loving all the cards you have made. What a great technique. Want to try thissoon. Not today.... if I don't clean house I am going to be buried in papers (and bills).
I saw this challenge and had to give it a whirl! it was so fun! My card is pending aproval. Hopefully I'll be able to link my card here! I'll see if I can figure it out.:confused:

I'm so glad you decided to play. Your card is awesome. I think this challenge for most of us was out of our comfort zone.
I missed playing last week so I thought I do a little messing around tonight and do a combined challenge of this week as well. Actually got 4 challenges done in one card. Faux Layer Tree
