This is a one layer card for the alphabet challenge of last week, to make a one layer card for the letter 'O'. I also used orange ink and SU orchid opulence ink. I started up by stamping the tag, then masking it. I made a rectangle die cut from printer paper, adhered it with removable glue, sponged the outside edges with orchid opulence. I removed the cnetre part of the rectangle, sstamped maple leaves of two different sizes, also masked all of the leaves and then sponged with opulent orchid. Removed all the masks, and touched up white edges with copics. It was labour intensive and didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but it is what it is.

Wow Ina - this is a masterpiece! I love all these gorgeous falling leaves and I really love this purple background you sponged in. Your tag is so elegant and really works beautifully with this lovely one-layer fall card! ~Karen.
Ina, this is beautifully done! I love your one layer work, intensive as it was. Great results! Thanks for doing the double part of the challenge. Love it!

Ina this is so beautiful! And it doesn't look like just one layer - that tag REALLY looks like it is another layer. Amazing! I think it looks absolutely amazing!

Genius way to make the tag stand out to fool all of us in thinking that it is a layer. I would have never thought of doing this, or probably taken the time to do it. You have done an awesome job!

This is gorgeous. Your fall colors against the orchid opulence b.g. color! It really showcases your leaves. Yes, I can imagine this one took a lot of hours, but I think it turned out beautifully, Ina.
