Week 262 - One layer cards

Good Morning Crafty Friends,

I hope that this finds everyone well. Jo here and it is my week to host the Allsorts Challenge. Thank you to Sarah for a great week For the Guys and if you entered please check out to see if you have won!

 For this week and I have chosen ................................... 

**A ONE LAYERED CARD**

I would like to see designs using one layer of card and the design on this.  I know that some of you may be slightly unfamiliar with making designs like this - now that we have so many stunning dies and embellishments in our crafting arsenal it is difficult not to use them.  It is sometimes refreshing to go back to a one layered card and use stamps, inks etc only. These are quick cards and great when you need something to hand.

When I say a one layer this does not include the card base/blank - you don't have to create your design straight onto the card blank. To give you some ideas and fabulous inspiration our amazing design team ladies have been busy creating some cards for you to check out.

Our lovely sponsor this week is Craftbag :-

 Thank you to the Craftbag. We are enormously grateful for your generosity.

I am sure that these gorgeous designs have sparked an interest and hope that it has inspired you to have a go at the Challenge. 

Thank you for taking the time to pop over to the Challenge and if you are inspired to have a go please enter your name etc below :-

Enjoy a lovely weekend,
Jo x
and all the girls from the Allsorts team.
