you are one of a kind!

My first card was so quick that I wanted to make another one for One Layer Wednesday 84.  I picked three different Copics for the pink gumballs, but with such small surface areas they look all look the same.

stamp: A Muse gumball machine & "you're one of a kind!"

ink: Memento tuxedo black

other: Copics {RV10, RV13, RV14, RV21}

dreams come a size too big...

I enjoy developing my skills in one layered cards.  When you don't add a bunch of "stuff" to your card, your stamps, colors, text, and placement really carry all the weight.  I had a minute to whip out this card for the One Layer Wednesday 84.

stamp:  A Muse birds & "dreams come a size too big..."

ink: A Muse orange, bubblegum, & watermelon; VersaFine onyx black

Now that my desk is clean, I've been wanting to do some more challenges.  I love Susan Raihala's gorgeous one layer cards, so I thought I'd give the One-Layer Wednesday challenge #82 a try.  While I do simple cards, I don't do one-layer cards.  It requires too much planning, precision, and color palette knowledge.  All of which are my downfalls.

My girlfriend had a baby on Leap Day (how cool is that?) and who better to give a card to than a sleep deprived mother?  They can't remember if they ate breakfast, let alone if your card was perfect or not!

I can't tell you how badly my fingers were itching to add some tiny rhinestones, buttons or twine to this card.
