One Layer Wednesday and this week Susan has challenged us to use a Swirl on our one-layer card. The colors are courtesy of the
Play Date Cafe Challenge pictured below.
My older son kindly pointed out that my card's swirls appear "more orange than yellow, mom". AARRGGH - The ink is Squash from A Muse Studios and always appeared to be more of a mustard yellow than a mustard orange to me.
The swirl comes from the A Muse Studio Ornate Elements stamp set and it makes such an elegant frame for your sentiment when it is stamped twice. While the swirl appears asymmetrical when stamped alone, once you turn it around and stamp it again the whole thing becomes aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
A tiny strip of Smokey Shadow fulfilled the color requirement for the PDCC but then disqualified for the OLW challenge. No worries, this design is quick and easy to replicate!
