OLW 140 Borders

Happy Monday everyone - well, after a great weekend weather wise it's certainly changed today; overcast and chilly with the forecast of worst to come!

I spied this challenge over on another blog - it's not one I've entered before but thought I'd give it a go this week.

It's run by the incredibly talented Heather of Bits & Pieces and called OLW or One Layer Wednesday and she's asking us to make or stamp a border on your one layer card. You can use stamps designed for creating a border or you can create a border with any stamps.

 

For my card I masked off a border area on a 6" square card blank and then I've used all Clearly Besotted stamps - Leafy Accents and Happy Days.  I've used Kaleidacolor Autumn Leaves for the ink and used 1st and 2nd generation stamping.  I then lightly sponged along each edge.  The two part sentiment was stamped in the same ink.

Thanks for dropping by and taking the trouble to leave comments.
