Morning.
First, I want to wish all the Moms out there a very
Happy Mother's Day!!
Happy Mother's Day!!
As most of your already know, I love making clean and simple card so when I saw the challenge at Splitcoast, I just couldn't resist and had to play along.
So, the challenge was to create a one-layer card inspired by the host's board on Pinterest.
I couldn't settle on just one card so I created my card based on the many elements that can be added to make a one-layer card special. You know what they say, 'It's all in the details'.
I took a few of the card elements found on the cards there and put them together like the masking, sponging, inking, splattering and scoring.
To create the side panel, I masked then I randomly put some Distress ink on my acrylic
block, sprayed with water and dragged the ink down the side of my card.
By dragging my inky block, I got a swipe of colour instead of a more concentrated block of colour and I like that there is still some white showing through. I wiped off my long acrylic block each time then applied a different
colour, sprayed with water and dragged again. I stamped the feather
using my Misti then splattered white acrylic paint over the image to add more interest. I also
added scoring to the side of the panel with my Scorbug and my ScorPal.
The sentiment was stamped with black Memento ink and heat embossed to help make it pop.
