Grateful-(One Layer)

 
 
I've gotten to a place today where I could make a card and wanted to join challenge #25 at Addicted to CAS.  The code word this week is: One Layer. I love a one layer card...so unadorned. I really meant for this card to be more of a rusty red. Guess I should have used Potter's Clay ink instead of Rhubarb Stalk if that's what I wanted.
 
I thought I would do a Fall card today and use a stamp set by Inkadinkado/ Foliage Trails. I love the set as it has so many wonderful images. The rest of my recipe is below.
 
All I had to do to this card was color in just a bit with a very pale Copic color and I added a sequin in the largest flower.
Splitcoaststampers is featuring Cathy Tidwell aka catdidit as featured stamper today. I cased this card from her wonderful gallery. Of course, I do not have stitching, just used her sketch.
 
Recipe:
Stamps-Inkadinkado/ Foliage Trails set, Creative Imaginations/Thankful set
Paper PTI vintage cream (yes, it does look white here, but isn't)
Ink-Memento Rhubarb Stalk
Accessories-YR000 silk Copic, gold sequin

Eine schöne einfache Karte, Brenda. Der Stempel mit den vielen verschiedenen Blättern und Blumen kommt doch sehr wirkungsvoll auf der Karte herüber.
♥ Grüße, Anja

No stitching was required on this as it's beautiful just as is! Love the color you selected for this wonderful one layer card! The sequin gives it just the right amount of bling.

You've created a beautiful OLC with a lot of depth and interest, Brenda! The colors have orange tones on my monitor so you could also link this up to One Layer Wednesday, which is hosted this week by Karen of "Snippets." Darnell

Loved your CASE card, but I think I like this one even better. It's just elegant & refined - your touch of copic & the fab jewel center set off the stamped image perfectly. TFS

Ein wunderschöner filigraner Stempel ist das Benzi. Mir gefallen die kleinen Blätter darin.
Deine Karte finde ich sehr Edel.
