Yes folks, it's another 'new to me' challenge today! I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday! The sun is actually shining here in the wet SW and there isn't a cloud in the sky . . . which leads me neatly into the challenge One-Layer Simplicity Challenge - Gratitude and the sentiment on this card! I will list supplies used below.
First I masked off the strip across the bottom third of the card and sponged some distress inks very gently, as I wanted a soft look for this card. Next, I stamped the Lily silhouette from Hero Arts 'With Sympathy' stamp set and the greeting from Avery Elle's 'Love Notes' stamp set and sponged some white pigment ink through a home made stencil for a soft bokeh effect and added a few white dots with a gel pen.
I finished it off with black lines on the edges of the sponged panel with a black marker and added a few co-ordinating sequins! There you have it, a very rare one layer card from me! I hope the remainder of your Sunday is great, whatever you are doing and thank you all for . . . making life beautiful with your sweet comments and encouragement! Hazel xx
Hazel, this is so lovely - enjoyed reading how you created the design. Stamping the flower outside the border sponging created so much dimension & interest on the one layer card. This one would be super for assembly line design, and wonderful for mailing. Good job!!! TFS
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel. YOU make life beautiful! :) This is so pretty ... wonderful design and love your soft sponged colours. The black adds some drama and grounds everything. Great job my friend! xx
