Last week though I was inspired to give it another go by this card created by my wonderful up-line Krystie Hersch for the OLW challenge, in her write up she mentions the need to 'ground the image'. This may be old news to you, but it was a light bulb moment for me. Here is what I came up with:
Stamp, stamp , stamp and the tiniest amount of Copics and I was done. I have to confess to being more than a little proud of this one - I was well outside my comfort level and it worked - well I think so anyway.
You will notice that I didn't smush the sentiment. Coincidentaly I got this awesome tip last week from Lara at Amuse Studio:
If you are stamping a thin sentiment or a tiny image using a cling or cling stamp, ink it up as usual then place a second, clean image from the same set beside it and then stamp. The second image stabilises the block and no smushing - YAY!
That is it for today - come back soon - I have lots more to share!

I feel exactly the same way about one layer cards - why are they so intimidating? I can't figure it out, but you did a wonderful job! And I am inspired to give it another try...I'll let you know how it works out. (:
Karen, you're right, this worked beautifully! I'm the same with one layer cards, but I love the look so much I just keep on trying. :-)
Adorable card! There are no better "grouders" than those A Muse ovals...love 'em! Thanks, too, for the great "smushing" tip!
I love that baby crib stamp so much. I have used it so many times and never once thought to just stamp it right on the card.....just darling!
