One Layer Inspiration

I was inspired by a couple of members of the PTI design team, Lisa Johnson and Betsey Veldman (who isn't?) and also inspired by the need to mail a couple cards that I wanted to keep down to one layer.

First up is a card inspired by Betsey Veldman's Iconic Images card here. And, here is my one layer version of it:

Don't you love the color combination? I had to save up for a few months to be able to afford a qualifying order from Stamp-A-Faire, and boy am I glad that I did! Love the background building stamps!

I was also inspired by this card by Lisa Johnson. Here is my version of the card:

The flowers look like they are black, but they are really dark purple, Elegant Eggplant by Stampin' Up to be exact. (I really need to take a photography class!) I used Botanical Sillhouettes given to me by my wonderful friend Amy.

Well, I'm off to mail these cards. Thanks for stopping by!
