Hi Friends
I have a one layer card (OLC) for you today.
My lovely blog friend Vicky often masks off her card fronts before inking and stamping, so I took a leaf out of her book and had a go at it myself! I was very pleased with the results (thanks Vicky!).

| A6 size card |
- As mentioned above, I used low tack masking tape all along the card front edges.
- I stamped a very large Carabelle stamp into the unmasked area in light brown ink.
- Using a make-up brush, I brushed light brown ink from the left hand corner upwards and outwards.
- Used a 3-step Stampin' Up! set of flowers called 'Too Kind', I stamped the green stems first, then the 2-step flower heads.
And what a lovely make it turned out to be, a lovely combination of images and colours ... One Layer Cards are my own particular nemesis!!!

The delicate background stamping shows off the lovely flowers to perfection. Always a bit nervous of OLC's myself 🙄
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Sarn, a very effective technique for one layer card. xx

ReplyDeleteBellissima!! Mi riprometto sempre di fare una card mascherano il bordo, ma poi non lo faccio mai! Grazie per avermelo ricordato :) Adoro i fiori viola sullo sfondo marrone, è un effetto così vintage!
