OLW139 - 3x3


This week's One Layer Wednesday  challenge is hosted by Cheryl. The challenge is to make a card that measures 3x3.  I never make cards this size. And I never make tags. And from time to time, as I'm rushing out of the house with a hostess gift, but no tag or at Christmas when I use (gasp!) store-bought tags, I wish I did.

They are perfect for showing off smaller images, like this little panel from Magenta that I got years ago. (When I use it on a regular sized card, I usually repeat it, like I did here).  I love the intensity of the colour here but you could really colour the tulips any colour you like. Not sure where that sentiment came from, but I thought it was the right scale for the card.

You can see that there is still a little bit of warp in the card after I heat embossed - that will relax over time and it will be perfectly flat. I hope.

  11. First of all Ӏ want to say аωesome blοg!
    I haԁ a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
    I was intereѕtеԁ to find out how you сentег youгsеlf and cleаr your thoughts prior to ωriting.

    I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Kudos!
