My Time to Craft DT #316 One Layer Card
Good morning and Happy Saturday! Our new Challenge at My Time to Craft is deceptively simple: make a One Layer Card
In its purest form a One Layer Card has the image, sentiment etc added directly to the card base. This can be stamping or die-cut insertions. Often, though, the one layer section is a separate piece of cardstock, decorated and adhered to the front of the cardbase.
NO additional paper is allowed, whether patterned paper or washi tape or cardstock! Embellishments should be used very sparingly. For more detailed rules look Simplicity One Layer Challenge.
Here's my card: it is inspired by the amazing Kristina Werner
I used Distress Inks on watercolour paper to colour Pricilla, a Saturated Canary stamp from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps. (Sorry there's no link, Google doesn't show it!) This is my fourth attempt, watercolouring is not as simple as it looks!! I used my craft mat as a palette and squashed the Ink pads on it, then used an ordinary paintbrush to paint. The paper is quite thin, so I used as little water as possible, otherwise it pilled. I added Clear Wink of Stella to her dress and ribbons.
The sentiment is by Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler and when I stamped it I thought it looked too plain and added two stamped hearts. The top one was a mistake, it's in the wrong place - but with a one layer card it's not possible to cover it!
Do have a go at a One Layer Card, and check out Kristina Werner on Youtube if you haven't already!
Thanks for looking!
