The design team is asked to feature 3-4 cards but honestly, that is a difficult task considering all the awesome entries. Thanks so much to all that played along and I hope you had fun 'adding water' to your one-layer designs.
We hope you enjoyed the One-Layer Simplicity Challenge for March and that you are looking forward to April's challenge hosted by Ardyth Percy-Robb.

Audrie's card was just wonderfully done with the ink mixed with water just flowed onto her embossed areas.
Chris's card is wonderfully done with a water-coloured background for the silhouette images.
Vicky's card had a softness and the lovely feel of a country garden which she created using her acrylic block and scribbles.

#64 Darnell's layering of coloured (and watered) stamping,embossing and shimmer is an amazing effect - sparkly, colourful and full of interest!

Kailash has used pretty spring colours, softened with water to create her own gorgeous floral pattern.
Chris F vibrant splash of colour is balanced by a large sentiment and border to link the whole layout.

Cornelia used water to create this dreamy, soothing card in gray and blue...so unified and harmonious with the message.

Janet turned a "mistake" into a lovely card with pen lines and pearls, and her "correct" versions of the card are equally lovely!
