NB There is no need to adhere to the One Layer if that is on the week you choose.
You may wish to go for your favourites or maybe your least...acetate springs to mind!
Most of all, be creative, have fun, remember our white space and the all important
"Less is More"
 
This is my card, representing weeks 5 - Pastel, 15 - embossing, 25 - Button or Ribbon, and the biggest challenge for me week 28 - inking.
This lovely image is my winning stamp from Wags n Whiskars. I coloured it in with my Reeves water colour pencils, I know, me not using Photoshop to colour?  YES it was awful not using Photoshop as I usually do, the colours are not as pale as I thought they would be and I can't say the colouring is perfect, it's only a few times I have coloured any stamp in my entire card making time, so all in all I'm quite pleased, even though it could be a lot better.  The bow was made as tiny as I could go on the bowmaker my hubby made me, and the embossing is from the Cuttlebug folder Flower Fantasy.  Nothing more to say about it really, but I am going to use it as a Sympathy card for a friend.

Faith - you really are too hard on yourself! I absolutely love this card - the colouring (whatever you say!) is beautifully done and the cut-out image looks perfect on the rounded embossed panel. This is my favourite of all your cards.

Faith I have to say for someone who docent colour often you did an amazing job I love this. That stamp is so pretty and the whole layout of your card is just perfect.
