Welcome
Time for another fun theme at
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.

STUNNING Karen, I actually thought you had framed this until I realized it's one layer only. Great little tut..thanks.xx
Brilliant card.[aussie aNNie blog] ♥ ♥
This is gorgeous Karen, and thanks for the tutorial. I think I must get some of that post it tape as I have tried lots of things but I always find the ink seeps underneath a bit so you don't get a tidy edge but this seems to work much better. I love the sentiment you have used too. x
Gorgeous acrylic block inked background for your stamped wild flowers, Karen. LOVE your sentiment too. TFS your photos of your technique. I have not done this technique for awhile. Thanks for the reminder. Hugs...
LOVE this card Karen!! The colours from the acrylic block blended so perfectly to give you an amazing background for stamping. Thanks for the tutorial! xx
So very gorgeous. I have not used an ink block in a long time so this was a great reminder as to how awesome a background used for them can look.
Simply beautiful, my friend! Thanks for the tutorial!
A beautiful result Karen
gorgeous Karen, love the mix of colours from the DOX inks so perfect for your silhouette flowers.
Wonderful one layer card, Karen - something I always struggle with. Beautiful colours and a perfect meadow of flowers.
What a great CAS card! It's been a while since I've done this technique,thanks for the reminder and the wonderful inspiration!
so beautiful Karen
I love your use of color and the technique is awesome!
With the way the ink settled, it looks like you created a lake, Karen. It's the perfect setting for the wildflower silhouettes.
I've been a voyeur on your blog for many months and I must say this is one of your best cards i have ever seen. I just had to chime in and comment that I am in love with this card. Thank you so much for sharing
Gorgeous card Karen. The colours blend so well together and provide a serene background for the image. And a great way to make a one layer card. Thanks for joining Ink

Every time I see this technique used on a card, I think that I must give it a try. Thank you for giving me another push in that direction. You make it look so easy. I don't know why I'm so afraid of it. I imagine a big messy blob instead of the beautiful background you've made. lol.
Beautiful one layer card, Karen! The background is fabulous. Thanks for playing along at Craft Stamper Take It, Make It :)
