Well, for an embellishment addict like me, this challenge was soooooooooo hard. My fingers were just itching to get stuck into my various tubs of pearls, gems, ribbons, flowers etc.
Without any layers of pretty papers, I felt that I needed to create some interest another way. So I created a shaped card.
What do you think ... ?
I'm not sure that I will be rushing to make more one-layer cards as I think I'm going to need therapy to overcome the lack of embellies, but it's not too bad for a first attempt.
We're sponsored this fortnight by Simon Says Stamp and Robyn's Fetish so play along to be up for a chance to win some fab prizes.

Annette it is perfect, you can't tell you're out of your comfort zone. I know I'd not be able to do it, I love my flowers, ribbons etc, etc

I absolutely love it. And I know it's so hard not to embellish, but I also enjoy to create one layer cards time to time, because they are a real challenge. You did so well, I love it. Hugs! Mojca
I THINK its AWESOME! love love love the fact that you thought outside of the box and cleverly came up with a shaped card! LOVE the border too! hugs me xx
I think it's beautiful! I'm completely with you on the One Layer card thing, but your image is so brilliantly coloured, it really does speak for itself!

I think you've definitely cracked it with the one layer card; I find they can look so "flat" but you've carried this off perfectly. Thank you for playing at Sweet Stampin' this week. Tracey x
This looks just superb Annette, and with such a gorgeous card with those warm colours... I don't even think you should be needing therapy.. but I feel for you.. Struggled big time with my card as well and I landed even simpler than I ever thought I would;) I absolutely love the colour choice and the diecut shape too. Have a lovely evening. Hugs Bettina xx
