One- Layer Stenciled- The Flower Challenge

Welcome

Time for another card for 

The Flower Challenge.

http://theflowerchallenge.blogspot.com/

This month we are creating One Layer cards

My one layer card came together quickly.

I have wanted to pick up this wonderful stencil set from Altenew forever and was pleased to have a chance to play with it.

I laid the stencil on my card front and masked using some Post-It Tape, then applied Distress Oxide inks over different areas of the stencil until I was happy with the results.

This is a two-step stencil where you ink the base in first, then add the overlay with other colours on top of that.

I added a birthday sentiment from MFT and done.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you will join us and play along.

Happy Wedding Day

We had the pleasure of attending a special friend's wedding on the weekend.  It was a joy and a blessing to see how happy they are together.

I wanted to make an elegant, yet simplified card and here is what I came up with.

I began with a piece of white cardstock.  I place my Mini Lace stencil from TCW over the paper and pressed on some Versamark ink over it being sure to get into all the corners and edges.

I sprinkled on some shiny silver embossing powder and heat embossed it.

Next, using my Misti, I stamped the 'Congratulations' sentiment across the bottom and I splattered some silver paint over the stenciled area as well.

 I die-cut the Olive Branch and the Berry Branch with more white cardstock and glued them onto the front.  I tied a piece of silver ribbon at the top to add to interest and more shine.

Instead of putting the card into an envelope, I created a small box to place it in.

I stamped it using a large floral image, then tied it up with more silver twine and a congrats die-cut.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Hello and Welcome

Here is a simple, fun, cas card I made for one of my little friends.

Here's what I did to create it.

First, I stamped the monkey image using my Misti then used the matching die to cut it out.

I coloured him using my Copic markers which was very simple with this easy image.

Next, I stamped the 'bubble wrap' background using some Peacock Feathers Distress ink and then I pop dotted the monkey over that.

I stamped the Happy Birthday and mounted the whole thing onto a piece of matching brown cardstock.

That's it.

Life is Good

Happy Day!

It's the weekend, I'm starting my holidays and had some time to play.

I wanted to create a card using some new toys I just picked up from SSS.

Very simple card to create.

I began by masking off my card front with some Post-It tape, laid down my stencil, then rubbed over it with some Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks.  I splattered with some water to help lift off some of the colour and add some depth.

While that dried, I die cut the flower frame, then glued it over the stenciled bkg.

I added a blue button to the center of the flower that matched the bkg.

I like the crisp, clean look it has.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

At the Beach

Good Morning.

Time for a summertime card and besides, who wouldn't love relaxing on a beach somewhere.

This card was super easy to create using images from a sweet Penny Black set called Summer Fun.

The set is filled with fun, summer images just perfect for creating little vignettes.

I began by creating my background.  You can see my Mini Pictorial here about how I did it

Acrylic Block Inking

https://snippets-karen.blogspot.com/2018/08/simple-one-layer-and-tutorial-flower.html

When that was drying, I stamped the chair and the flip flops, fussy cut them out and then coloured them using my Copic markers.  I stamped the sentiment, then pop dotted the chair and flip flops over the beachy background.

Using my ScorPal, I scored a frame around the panel which helped give it a bit more presence.

Hope you are enjoying your summer.

Hello and Welcome.

Meet today's card...a simple one for a new arrival and such an exciting time.

I wanted to 'pink' up my card as much as possible, so I began with stamping the pink plaid background. Very easy to do with the help of my Misti and this great stamp from Concord & 9th.

I used some Colorbox pink pigment ink which stamped beautifully.

For the main panel, I first stamped the bubbles with more of the pink then stamped the sentiment and the onsie.  I stamped the onesie again on Designer Paper then fussy cut it out and glued it over the image. After colouring in the heart with my Copics, I mounted that panel over the plaid.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look and sincere and heartfelt thanks for all your most kind, generous comments.  I am so behind in visiting so many of you but will do my best to get there soon.

Simple One Layer and Tutorial- The Flower Challenge

Welcome

Time for another fun theme at 

The Flower Challenge.

http://theflowerchallenge.blogspot.com/

This month our theme is One layer cards.

Please check out the wonderful cards the DT's have created.  

Hope you will feel inspired to join us.

So onto my card.

I added a tutorial for those of you that are visual learners and for those of you that have never tried this super simple technique.

Step #1

I gathered my supplies. Two colours of DOX, white cardstock folded into a  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card and my acrylic block. Forgot to add my water Mister from TH to the picture.

Step #2

Ink up your acrylic block with the Bundled Sage at the bottom and the Peacock Feathers DOX at the bottom.

Step #3

Spray the block with water then press onto you cardstock trying not to wiggle it around.  Lift and remove.  You are left with a lovely, inky space to stamp over.

Step #4

When the ink is dry, mask the inked area.  I used some Post-It tape on mine.

Then, I placed it inside my Misti, inked with Memento black and stamped the flowers.

Step #5

I removed the tape then stamped the sentiment.

A simple one-layer card is born.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

I hope you will come and play along with us.
