One Layer Cards

Hello!

My blogaversary post with giveaway is here - you have until 10pm (GMT) on 22 March to leave a comment.

I am just stopping by with a few one layer cards that I made to play along with some of my fave challenges.  When I saw that this week's one layer challenge at Less Is More is Animals I knew that I wanted to break out my new Mama Elephant stamps:

 
These bears are just adorable.  I watercoloured them with distress inks and masked a moon with a post it.  I think the softness of the watercolours suit the images but I definitely need more practice :)  I will also link up at Simon's Monday Challenge which has an animal theme.
 

 
I also made a 'papa bear' version with darker distress inks.

 
 
I also made a card for AAA cards challenge which is Bare Naked CAS - seemed like too good an opportunity to miss :)  I made the most CAS card that I could.....using my Altenew stamps.  I masked a slop and sponged it with grey.  I watercoloured the rock with Pumice Stone distress ink and then masked it to sponge some Tumbled Glass around it. 
 
 
 
 
 
I hope you like my one layer cards!  Thanks for stopping by :)

    I struggle to make one OLC and you made three! And each one is just wonderful! Love how you colored the moon, the bears are adorable, and the last card is the perfect encouragement!

    I don't like your one layer cards Sarah...
