Susan's one-layer challenge this week is to make a red and white card. I adore her card with its beautiful red snowflakes, and the other thumbnails are beautiful, as well. What a simple and gorgeous color scheme this is!
I masked a vertical panel along the left side of my card and stamped the largest image from PTI Damask Designs to create a pattern. Then I peeled back the post-its and stamped a Hero Arts sentiment. Sounds simple, but it took five tries to get a card that I was happy enough to post. I love one-layer cards, but the slightest shaky hand can ruin the whole card! 
I loved Susan's card, as well as Karen's challenge card, so I decided to CASE them both. I love how the images are stamped within an area defined by the border stamp. I didn't have a Christmas stamp that seemed appropriate, but these flower stamps in red make me think of starlight mints. I tried a bit of red bling in the center of the large flowers, but it seemed to be too much. Thank you to both Susan and Karen for the inspiration.
Supplies:
Stamps:PTI damask designs, Hero Arts sentiment, Martha Stewart flowers
Ink: Stazon blazing red (damask card), Brilliance rocket red
Paper: PTI white

Those are super duper awesome cards!!! I LOVE that brocade border--I think it's my fave! :)
I know what you mean about shaky hands - I spend more time on one layer cards than any others, because I have to re-do them so many times!
This is great creating Anne, I love your two cards my favourite is the first which is stunning, well done, Gay xxx

Very pretty! And now you've made me want to try that second style, too...
Both are just super - I think the damask style of the first card is really elegant, and probably my favourite. Although, the funky flowers on the second card are really sweet!
Two amazing card...but the first one has a WOW factor for me! Love them!
