Good morning to you,
I have attempted Susan Raihala's Challenge over on her Simplicity blog and this week it's like this;
Rules for OLW14
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half.
2. Your card must be square and use an outline stamp. Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum.
Sounds good to me:)1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half.

I used 3 stamps The main image is by Creative Expressions,
Background is by Stampington, Garden Melange,
And finally the sentiment is from Hobby Art.
In this photo you can see how little colouring I've done, (Copic, warm grey 1 and milky white for her skin) but I couldn't resist using some platinum stickles on her jewellery:)
Looking back I realise that the biggest challenge was choosing which stamp to use at the begining but having done that it was real fun!!! I think the best part was when I stamped the background (I masked her off first) and found that her coat echoed the design on the background, a happy accident. Then I had some more fun balancing her on the word 'with'. That was because when I stamped her she was a bit high on the card (oops!) and I had to ground her:) Hope you enjoy this challenge, if you take part, because I have. I also found it liberating to leave loads off, it made me think hard about design. So Thanks Susan :)

Wow! Accident or not you have combined those three stamps beautifully, what a classy card.

A classy card for a classy lady (the stamp, I mean - but probably you, too!). Great job masking!
Really love this. Who would have known that you hadn't intended to place the sentiment right where it is?! Don't you just love masking? You have used the technique extremely effectively.
