When I made cards for the Clean & Simple Challenge, I wasn't happy with the feel of my one-layer cards. They felt flimsy to me. If I make one-layer cards again, I'll do what Anne did and use nice heavy watercolor paper. I used the card fronts of the original cards and mounted them onto a card; some now have matting. Here's the original gallery post with details: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/108705-djc/1670342-sof10-clean-simple/?c=t. [twopeasinabucket.com]Most cards are still 4 1/4“ x 5 1/2”. The green Happy Holidays card is about 4 6/8“ x 5 1/8”, and the Santa card is 4 7/8“ x 5 3/8”.I also made some changes that I think made the cards look better:I added Scattered Straw Distress Stickles to the poinsettias.I used deckle-edged scissors on the blue poinsettia card.I used Sakura's Souffle Pen and the black Spica glitter pen on the stockings.I put Rock Candy Crackle Paint on the Santa square. Unfortunately, the cardstock buckled and no amount of weighing it down straightened it out. I cut the square out and mounted it on a new piece of cardstock repeating the original inking with the Dreamweaver Deckle Edged “stencil.” I must have rocked the sentiment because it doesn't look the way it is suppose to look, but I like it anyway. What looks almost black here is actually a dark green.TFL. Daria
