N O spells No (layers)

 Morning all.  We have reached the letter N over at The Alphabet Challenge and we have the dreaded - by me - 'No Layers' card.  I find these so difficult to do.  My single layer cards look so flat - until now!  Yes it's a single layer but look at all that embossing.


I love that the embossing folder gives it so much dimension without adding layers.  I just inked the card before I started and stamped a sentiment in the middle panel.  I think the folder came in a goody bag I'd had and I can't remember ever using it before as it's so large.  I'm so pleased with the result.

Please nip over and join in the fun.

Thanks for reading.

Love Dawn x

  3. Oh, Dawn, I don't think this card could be any better and certainly doesn't need more layers to make it beautiful. Love it! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  8. What a wonderful no-layers card - I'd never guess you had difficulties making it. The idea to use an embossing folder to create a 3D effect is amazing - and what a beautiful embossing folder you used! I love the detailed pattern, and how it almost looks like a lace. It really is quite large, but I'm glad you found use for it on your card. The touch of colour you've added gives me a sense of spring, and I could easily imagine an all-white version of your project as a wedding or Christmas card.

  10. Wonderful result on this no-layer design! This is my dreaded card to make but I need to start making more because the last time I dropped off cards to mail at the post office, it cost me about $38 to mail 7 items (28 pounds!) I love embossing folders and have had some spotty luck with them but I really need to get on board and try and master them! This would help me economize my postage expense!
