With this fortnight's Flat Feliz Navidad prompt, we are asking that you make a one layer (or some call it "no layer") card ... which means that everything should be directly on the card base, with no additional layers on top of that.
If you're not sure, you can't go wrong by avoiding taping or gluing anything on! We're looking for completely flat cards this time!
Here's how we were FLAT this week:
Stephanie's Card
Stephanie says, "My card layers two stencils from Kristina Werner's Simple Christmas Stencil Pack. I used the all-over diamond stencil first in Speckled Egg Distress Oxide. Next, I rotated the stencil and used Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide. I stenciled the words on top using three different colors of Distress Oxide Inks - Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion. I finished my single layer by blending more Seedless Preserves on the edges."
Lauren says, "As everyone who knows me even a tiny bit will realize, this is NOT my forte. I'm the queen of lumpy, bumpy, multi-layered (and then let's mat those layers!) cards. So yes, I did a lot of surfing, googling and scrolling to get ideas. And I confess that it took me more than one (!!!) try. But, eventually, I broke out the uber-cute bears (& small sentiment) from Simon Hurley's create. Skating By Stamp Set and stamped everything in Ranger's Jet Black Archival. I colored the bears with Prismacolor Pencils and added a tiny bit of Cry Baby Stellar Ink to the curve of the pond's edge, then toned it down just a little with Shadow Grey Archival. I stamped just a couple of Simon's Peel Apart Stitched Snowflakes (sadly out of print) in the sky and then forced myself to call it a day before I was tempted to add... well... lumpy, bumpy, layery things lol."
