One Layer Only

Good morning peeps, I hope the world is treating you well.
Today as always on Monday, we have a new challenge at Incy Wincy.
This week we would like to see your
One Layer Cards.
Our sponsor this week is the amazing
Saturated Canary

I have to admit that I love my layers so for me I was really working outside my comfort zone with this card.

I used the gorgeous 'Grow' for my card.



The image as always is coloured with Promarkers.
The gems are from my stash.
Not a lot more to say.

Enjoy the challenge and please visit my fellow teamies this week they have some awesome projects.
