This was a challenge where we had to create a one layer only Valentine card.
I found it so hard sticking to just the one layer, somehow just doesn't seem enough.
I started with a base card of white and then just basically stamped the hearts from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set in the colours of Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana.
It seemed a little too plain to me so I added in some light stamping of some stamps from Gorgeous Grunge - my favourite stamps for creating backgrounds.
What do you all think? Do you like Clean and Simple with only one layer, or are you a layers girl. I can definitely say, I like my layers.
It was a very quick and easy card to put together once I decided on which stamps and colours I wanted to use and it would be easy to create many different cards just by changing the colours.

Tracey, great job! You added so much interest with the layering of the stamps and the different colors. You showed that a CAS one layer card doesn't have to be boring - that it can be fabulous!
