I created this card for the color challenge this week and made it a one layer card (the dessert option).
I stamped the sentiment using Walnut Ink stamped off once to simulate Crumb Cake. I think it is pretty close. The background square is inked with Ripe Persimmon and then lines of Calypso Coral added with a marker before stamping. The foliage stamp was inked with Walnut Stain and stamped off once before overstamping the square. The bottom edge of the card is punched with Martha Stewart's double arches. I added a strip of Calypso Coral cs to the inside of the card to show through the punched edge. The seam binding is dyed with the Walnut Stain ink.
Thanks for looking.
