JUN13VSNG ~ Saturday ~ June 8th ~ 1:00 PM EST ~ Strip Down Your Card
Title: Strip Down Your Card
Hostess: Greywolf (Val)
Keyword: JUN13VSNG
Day/Date: Saturday, June 8
Time: 1:00 PM EST
When it is really, really hot, like in the Dog Days of Summer in Texas, most of us tend to wear lightweight or less clothing, shorts: a swimsuit, bikini, thong (!) or if you have a private beach, maybe NOTHING! EEK! :eek:
The challenge is: Let's strip down our cards for the Dog Days of Summer and make a naked ... I mean a one-layer card . Bonus points if you make it with a summer (sun, beach, hot, picnic, etc.) theme.
I define a one-layer card as one piece of cs, just the card base with no attachments. However, if you would rather make your design on a separate panel and attach that "one" piece to your card base, that is acceptable for this challenge. Also, if you feel you have to, I won't deduct points if you add stickers, rhinestones or ribbon.
I know that one-layer and CAS cards are difficult for some people, so I'm including several samples.
Attached thumbnails show a very basic one-layer card, a slightly stepped up one-layer with heat embossing on patterned cs, and a one-layer simple scene on a separate panel which was attached to the card base. One-layer cards don't have to be "plain." You can also include things like paper piercing or glitter or Stickles.
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON MONDAY, JUNE 10th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. We have a special gallery for the Dog Days of Summer VSN . When you click on Member Galleries to access the drop-down list, either scroll to the very bottom of the list (or just hit the End key which will take you straight there), and upload to that gallery.
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, JUN13VSNG , when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your creation is seen.
Fun challenge, Val! Thanks so much for allowing the one layer on top of the card front. Working directly on the card front hardly ever works out well for me. Here's my Perfect Day . Thanks so much for looking!
I'm sure you'll think of a good way to make a one-layer card Sharon.
Julie, you are an artist!
I'm sorry to inject a sad note, but have you heard that our friend "The Griz" on SCS, Terry Luper, is in ICU with an infection, heart and kidney failure? He needs a miracle. I'd appreciate any prayers on his behalf as well as for his wife Kim.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Val! they'll definitely be in my prayers!

Thanks Jeanne, Susan and Kelly for playing along. I think I've commented on all the cards in my VSN gallery, but will check the gallery directly tomorrow to see if I missed anyone who didn't post here - and to see any cards that might be added later.
It's been fun. I still have 4 cards to make, but had to drop out this afternoon and finish my S.S. lesson. Priorities, ya know. I'll finish those 4 sometime before Monday evening.

Thanks everyone for playing in the one-layer challenge. For those of you who say it's difficult, I guess you proved that it can be done. For those of us who like one-layer cards, didn't we have fun?!!!
Now there are a whole bunch of new one-layer cards in the gallery for future inspiration. I will surely take advantage of that! ;)
I'll keep checking to see if there are others, like me, who are still finishing up the challenges. I still have 4 to go. I was supposed to spend today making them, but that didn't happen. :
