I struggle with one layer cards. I'm really not one to add lots of layers, but usally I have two or three and I love using die-cuts. So this challenge is just that for me. I went to Heather Telford's wonderful blog for inspiration. To me, she is the expert at one layer cards ... her masking and sponging is second to none. What's also amazing about Heather's work is her huge gallery of cards that are all so unique. Hope you like my "ode to Heather" card for today using the soft, muted palette from the Paper Players challenge.
Please email me if you have any questions about how I made this card ... or check out Heather's tutorials on her blog.

This is absolutely gorgeous! As soon as i saw your card in the LIM challenge, I thought - that looks like one of Heather Telford's cards! You have absolutely captured her magic! I have tried with little success so far - so well done!
I think you've done this every bit as well as Heather does her magical cards, Loll! Fantastic! I'm hoping to combine the one layer challenges this week, too, but I'm still struggling with how. You've nailed them!
Wow Loll this is gorgeous! So soft and peaceful.

This is amazing Loll and I agree that you couldn't have greater inspiration than Heather. She is the past master of this inky technique. Having said that, this card is an inspiration too! Simply wonderful!
