I Challenge You Wednesday -- No layers!

My friend and I took the summer off from our Wednesday challenges, but with fall and a more scheduled life we're starting it up again.
This weeks challenge was to make a card with no layers on it.  I actually picked this challenge (hard to believe since I'm more of a "pile it on" person) -- and it proved to be just that --- a challenge!
I didn't have a lot of time with company all week-end and not feeling very well since Sunday night, but here's the three projects I completed....

Supplies used:

• Apple basket from here
• Crayola markers
• Harvest Expressions (Inkadinkadoo)
• Copper Embossing powder
• Houndstooth Embossing folder (Provo Craft)
• Brown Ink pad (inked over the entire card)
• Easy Stitches Template (Paper Pizazz)

  Supplies for this card:

• Creative Memories Kit of the Month stamps - World Travels
• Diamons in the Rough embossing folder (Provo crafts)
• Brown Chalk (rubbed over vera marked bike/globe images)
• Teal Ink (stamped "postmark" and compass with)
• Brown marker (stitching and highlight around text)

• Brown ink pad (rubbed over embossed image)

Supplies used:
