This weeks Free For All Friday Challenge, F4A246 One Layer Plus (11/7/14), was to make a one-layer card with embellishments added, but no extra paper layers. Whew! This is definitely a challenge for me, the Queen of Paper Layers! ha...
After several tries, I was finally able to successfully get the debossed square in the right place on the card front. Not as easy as first imagined! Before removing the die, I lightly sponged blue ink on the interior edges to add a background for the stamped image and spritzed the opening with some shimmer spray to add a bit of sparkle. I applied colors to the pine bough stamp with markers to control the color placement. Finished by taking a stitch through the card front with linen thread and tieing with a simple knot.
Thanks for swinging by to look at my one layer wonder!

Love one layer cards. So cool n I think this would look great on an A1 card for note cards. Will be putting this in my file for future fun. Great idea.

This is so pretty! I love the debossed square - even if it was harder than it looks! (isn't it amazing how many things look so easy until you are trying them?)
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed comment on my card - It means a lot to me!
