New Challenge @ Shopping Our Stash #SOS542

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

Shoppping Our Stash // #SOS542 ...A "shop your stash" challenge with a theme!!  ONE IS THE LONELIST NUMBER is the theme for our new challenge that begins today...this means we want to see single layer cards.

#SOS542 // Single Layer Card

I was gifted this Stampin Up set by a design team bestie when I placed an order with her and it worked perfect for creating a single layer card and it is the newest member of my stash.  I colored in the blooms only using an aqua painter pen with Stampin Up's Night of Navy and Marina Mist inks.  There you have it...one layer, clean & simply, with basic stamping and coloring!!

Now it is your turn...shop your stash for those perfect stamps for creating a single layer card.  Hop on over to our blog and check out the great cards created by the rest of the design team.  You will also find all the details for playing along with us!!  We can't wait to see your single layer cards!!
