One Layer Wednesday is at Jennifer's this week and it's all about Summer holidays, pop over and see her, she's got a guest designer too!OLW 57 Rules, (short version )
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half.
2. Make a one-layer card inspired by sun, sand, sea, summer, the beach, the late, the cottage (or all of those).
Today I've stamped a Crafty Secrets stamp that I got from the Craft Barn, I love this selection of stamps, they're pretty retro but lots of fun:0)
I stamped her first with memento tuxedo black then masked her off. Using Tim holtz inks, broken china and scattered straw I gently blended the colour onto the masked image and card base. When that was finished and the mask removed I decided I preferred it uncoloured, so I left it alone uncoloured and simple:0)
Do you think it should be coloured or left as is? I'd be very interested to know;0)
I'm still visiting the lovely LIMettes, only about 365 to go, I jest but there are rather a lot of us now, he he he.
Happy Crafting:0) TTFN Gay x

Oh Gay this is gorgeous, I love the soft colour around her and I think she looks just perfect uncoloured. I'd leave her just as she is.

I was just about to type 'Ah I see you're featuring in the card again Mrs MaC' when I realised you're probably getting sick of that joke! Your card is utterly beautiful and what a good idea to leave the young lady uncoloured. Vx

Hugs, Sandra
I love it Gay and I love it uncoloured, just that hint of background is perfect! Stop showing me these stamps :D or I may have to get my purse out LOL. Hope you have a great weekend xx
I love it as it is Gay - you did a fab job with the sponging, it looks as if you airbrushed it.
Have a great weekend,

This is beautiful...love the soft sponging (or misting) beautiful!!
super super cute! and congrats on your new DT post!! Awesome!
This is a stunner! I would not touch a thing!
Totally, TOTALLY, awesome. Great image, great design.
Lovely and more of the past personified!
Gay, I love the colors you sponged on...very cool. I don't think I would have colored the lady...I think it stands out a lot more uncolored. Very pretty card!
oh wow!! love your card, gay!!! so very cool (and/or hot... tee hee!)
WOW, Gay!!! I laughed out loud and totally love how you used this fab image. Hot stuff, indeed!
Oh, this is absolutely stunning! Could you please do a tutorial on sponging? :)
What a stunning card, and, what a stunning lady. She is fab left uncoloured. Love Sheila x
