While browsing different blogs and websites I am always amazed at how some ladies can make such beautiful cards while not having any layers of cardstock and designer paper. I have only made one other one layer card, quite some time ago, lol. To my amazement, I loved the way it turned out and also loved the ease of it. For some reason though I never think to make a one layer card when I am crafting. Tonight I thought I would give it another go.
I started with a sheet of whisper white cardstock and started adding color with my sponge daubers until I had a background that I was happy with. I also added some color with the spritzer, not sure that shows up in the photo but I like the effect that it gave. I stamped the flower image from Inspired by Nature (one of my favorite sets) in chocolate chip ink and then used Smooch Pearlized Top Coat along the tops of the flowers and leaves. The sentiment is also stamped in chocolate chip ink and is from the set Kind and Caring Thoughts. To finish it off I added some Chocolate Chip satin ribbon.
I think I may have to try doing more one layer cards from now on. Give it a try!!!
Happy Stamping and Scrapping,
Ronda
Ronda, this is FABULOUS! I love how even though it's a one-layer card (difficult at times!), it looks like it has so much dimension. Great job, thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice.. It looks like a card from a gift shop.

you did an amazing job with the sponged background! I've yet to do a decent 1-layer, maybe this has inspired me to try again!
