This was definitely a challenge for me...alll white and one layer! I need layers!!! The good part of this challenge for me was that I got out some of the stuff I have had forever and don't use enough or ever!
The center medallion was dry embossed using brass stencils (first try with those!) and then sponged with pale plum ink. Other failed experiments to add color and interest without layers led to the addition of bling, etc. on the corners. The silver edge was done with a silver Sharpie. The sentiment is heat embossed using Versamark and then Perfect Plum ink to stamp the sentiment with the aid of a stamp positioner.
Still not real happy with it but I think it was time to stop on this one. I may try another after a little more coffee and a shower.
Thanks for the great challenge Emily! Enjoy your summer and the quality family time!

Beautiful. I love the "bling" in the corners and the designer brad in the center.
