...Simplicity (TSG47)

This week we are challenging you to simplify your stamping by creating a one layer card. You are allowed to have images that are popped up with dimensional on your card but no other layers/panels! Limit your embellishments to only one kind (but you can use multiple of that embellishment). So get out those stamps and enjoy some simplicity in your stamping this week.

I chose to use the little teddy bear and one of the sentiments from one of the new There She Goes sets called "Bear Hugs" for my sample. I used a Bashful Blue Cardstock base, then stamped the bear onto a piece of PTI White Cardstock in Black Ink. I colored the teddy bear to coordinate with the base, then colored in a little bit of a floor directly on the card base. I cut out the image, and popped it up off of the base using Dimensionals after adding some paper piercing around the edges on the front of the card. A piece of Black Striped Ribbon completed the card.

To be eligible for the giveaway,

you are to create a one layer card, then go to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the Mr. Linky that is located at the bottom of this challenge post.
