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 :)
