And on a side note, my car is still in the garage a month after some stupid idiot rammed into it whilst it was parked and has given me a £2500 bill. He (I'm presuming it was a he!) hit my wheel, shunted it back, broke the suspension, drive shaft and buckled my wing so I need a ton of work done on it and am now driving a horrible Nissan Micra that sounds like a tank. I need my 206cc back!!
What's all this got to do with this challenge I hear you ask? Well....using this video for inspiration helped me create a single-layer card that I love!!
I embossed the centre of the card with an oval nestability and then cut the same size oval out and used it as a mask so I would be left with a blank space in the middle! I stamped the smallest dots from Polka Dot Basics in Real Red using the mask to cover the embossed area and leave it blank. I then stamped my Little Lady and greeting (love the fact that you can bend the clear PTI stamps to make them curved) in the clear oval. Added a bit of contrasting ribbon and voila a single-layer card that is so pretty even if I do say so myself!
