So, two weeks ago the fabulous and wonderful Julie challenged the Pretties to make a one layer card with scoring on it...HUH???? To quote a friend who shall remain nameless "asking me to make a one layer card is like asking me to breath only once an hour". 
Obviously, and this will come as no surprise to you, but I really don't DO one layer cards-my normal minimum is around 6, so this challenge, well it was painful. I have yet to indulge in a special scoring tool, so I have a hard time doing anything but straight lines, and after I got done with my card, I realized then that I had BURIED the lines under my ribbon...smart. So, they are there, you just don't see them. My base is PTI white cardstock, which up until now was the strongest white(did you hear the news at Gina K. WAHHOOO). I stamped my Angel Wings image on it and then colored her in with my SU markers and a glitter pen. I put the glitter all over her wings and the trim on her dress. I added 3 dew drops from Robin's Nest, and added some white organdy ribbon and silver cord. This card was SO hard to get a picture of too. It is dark and rainy here today, and I just couldn't get it to photograph well...that's what I get for waiting til the last minute!! Well, that is it for me for now...be sure to check out what all my other Pretties have created for you today...I am sure they are all AMAZING!!
