OLW129- All in a Row

Welcome to another week for the OLW challenge (One Layer Wednesday).  This week the challenge is:

All in a Row- create a card with a row of anything

 I love the look of a card with a repeated pattern on it, so find a stamp you can use to create a row on your card.  My cute coffee cup is from Paper Smooches and the sentiment is from Whipper Snapper.  I stamped my cups in a row and just coloured one of them and added a small piece of scrap red to the base for interest.  I also added some scoring under the sentiment.

 

OLW129 Rules

1. Create a one-layer card.  That is defined as a single layer of card stock folded in half. No other layers      
    allowed!

2. Make a card that has an image done in a row.  Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum and

    NO ADDITIONAL LAYERS of card stock.

3. Post your card online and link it to the InLinkz button underneath.  If you link to your blog, please link to  

    the specific post, not your blog’s main page.

4. HAVE FUN! I am looking forward in seeing what you create!

Spring's Arrival

I don't know about you, but I am ready for Spring's Arrival.  Guess I can say that and dream about it as we are about to get blasted by a big winter storm here tomorrow.  Anyways, who doesn't love seeing the poppies starting to bloom in all their glory.  I love this new stamp from Penny Black. 

I am playing along with with the CAS challenge at Splitcoast today.  An easy card; I stamped the poppies, coloured them with Copics and cut them out using a Spellbinders die.  I added a scoring line around the outside keeping my card very clean and simple.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Have a great week.

Supplies:  stamps; Penny Black/ Spellbinders/ pearls/ pop dots/ scoring tool

Joyful

Joyful describes me mucking around and playing with my Distress inks again.  That is how I created this background for the Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoast today.  I applied my Distress ink pad directly to my non-stick pad and sprayed with water.  I ran my paper through the wet ink to make the bkg.  When it was dry, I stamped over it with a bkg. stamp.  I stamped the Bed of Roses background stamp in black Memento ink and cut out the roses.  I left them white to highlight them against the yellow, orange and greens.

Love my new sentiments from Paper Smooches too.  

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  Stamps; Penny Black, Paper Smooches, Wplus9/ Distress inks/ pop dots

The Sun's Reflection

Put down the blue ink pad!!!!!   Amazing eh?   There is not a speck of blue on today's card; the yellow makes me feel happy and wanting Spring.  

Anyways, I am playing along with 2 challenges today.  One is the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast and the other is at CASology inspired by the word 'FLAME'.  I took the word 'FLAME' as a colour inspiration and inked my stamps with Distress inks in yellow and orange.  I sprayed them with water before stamping so the colours would blend nicely together.  I cut out the panels so I could pop dot them onto my card.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Supplies:  stamps; Penny Black/ Distress inks/ Memento bl/ pop dots

Imagination Takes Flight

Today's card was based on a quote as a challenge.  Here it is:

 "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."

Well my imagination did take flight when I got out my Distress inks and started to play.  I created the background by rubbing the blue Distress ink pads onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with water and then put the paper through the ink. When it was dry, I stamped in the circles, musical notes and the sentiment. I had a piece of the bkg. left over so stamped it with sheet music first then over-stamped the butterfly and cut it out so I could pop dot it onto my card.

Thanks so much for coming by to take a peek.  Have a good week.

Supplies:  stamps; Penny Black, Inkadinkadoo/ Distress inks/ non-stick craft sheet/ gems/ pop dots
