One Layer Card.
Good afternoon, hope everyone is having a great weekend.
One layer cards are something that I have recently got into. I used to pile up my cards with papers, ribbons and embellishments - I still do sometimes but clean and simple cards are starting to appeal to me more and more. I especially like brayering but this week at Less is More Mandi and Chrissie want a one layer card using ink (can be ink pads) in a way you normally wouldn't. So instead of my brayer I got out some sponges and sponged a sky using a scallop circle (seen this alot but have never tried it myself)
This is a great technique for creating clouds and I will be entering this card in to Stampin' B's challenge which this week is create a card with clouds on it.
I used Stampin' Up ink in Baja Breeze and a Memento ink pad in Tuxedo Black. The stamps are my own designs but I had a little calamity with the birds as around the thin branches I had over inked my stamp and I had a black shadow around them - fixed it though by adding some extra leaves with a black fine liner.
Have a great rest of the weekend - Jacqueline xx

Great one layer card and I like the way you managed to cover up your mini disaster. stamping direct onto the main card is always a bit fraught which is why I prefer the layers!!
ReplyDeleteA cunning ploy to cover your minor error - your card is fab
