You see.....my usual technique, when I make a mistake (which I usually do) is to slap another layer over it. But in this challenge, I couldn't do that, so each time I made a mistake I got out another card blank and started again. I soon realised I was going to run out of blanks and started cutting the backs off and using them. So this card is a card that could be a one-layer-card in the hands of someone more efficient.
I sponged lilac Brilliance ink through my favourite Stamposaurus bricks stencil. I stamped the Paper Artsy house, masked it and stamped the Hero Arts dots circles. The sentiment is from Unity stamps. It did say 'enjoy - savor the moment' but I cut off the 'savor' as it's an American spelling and I'm English and I just couldn't do it! (I'm a teacher!) Finally I hand-drew a border round the card.

I think this is a brilliant piece of masking and sponging Marina and I love that you came clean about your technique! Your photo caption had me giggling too! Oh and I'm not a teacher but I can't do it either. Vicky x
I know how you feel about spellings... my daughters go to American style schooling and it took me like 8 years to forgive the American way of spelling... lol. My older one - all of 13 not yet explained to me that the American way of spelling is rational and logical. I had no choice but to accept it. Lol.
Your card is fantastic... love the masking and the house is so cute. Perfect sentiment too.

You are not on your own re running out of blanks when trying to create a one layer card! This is just super and your blog so made me smile. Thanks for cheering up a dismal day.

Thanks so much for joining us

Less Is More
I agree with so much here Marina, I don't like to use American spellings on my cards and this sentiment works perfectly in its adapted form. I also hate waste and in its present state it is a one layer card, despite the fact that it has no back!
It is also brilliant!
Thanks so much
Chrissie
