One Layer, No Ribbon!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  I am so happy as I most of next week off from work.  What I do have to do I can do on my schedule which is always nice.   So on to my card I have to show you today.  This is my first time playing along with the challenge for Stamping Sisters in Christ.  Patti J was the hostesses of this challenge to make a one layer card.  That is something I almost never do, but I wanted to give it a try after I came up with the idea for it.  I have to confess that I did have a bunch of trouble masking off the rectangle so I could sponge in the background, but after several tries I did it.  I am also entering this into Theresa's challenge for the release party for Gina K Designs.  Theresa's challenge to make a card using twine, cord, fibers etc., but no ribbons.  No ribbon can you believe that!  When I was just finishing up my card my DH came by.  Well, at that moment I had a navy fiber tied on the card and didn't really care for the way it looked.  My DH noticed that I was thinking about it and ask what was wrong, then he said why don't you use the white?  Duh, why didn't I think of that!!  There may be no living with him now, yikes!  I used two of Theresa's stamp sets for this card.  I used the tree from Fanciful Fall and the sentiment from The Giving Tree.  Thank you for stopping by.
