One Layer Card - Pop It Up Style

Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Our challenge hostess for the month Anne Harmon continues to issue the challenges.

This week Anne has challenged us to create a One layer cards are always easy to mail.  Create a one layer card with a water color panel or background.

As most of you know, I like creating cards that do something ... I especially like playing with my Pop It Ups dies. So for my card today I challenged myself to create a one layer card using the Katie Label Pivot Card designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

I colored my white card using distress inks and blending tool and then added some pattern to my card using the Swirly Flourish Stage It Stencil and black ink.

I kept the centre pivot panels white, just adding shading to the outer edge and added a sentiment on the right hand label and two of the birds from the Mini Bird Crazy and Things stamp set.  I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to watercolour the birds.

Here is a look at the back of my card.
