It's time to announce a brand new challenge for the next fortnight over at Less is More, and we're back with the genre that some love and some...not so much, that's right it's One Layer Card challenge time. And here's the cue card...
And our Sponsor continuing for the month of May is the wonderful Winnie & Walter so don't forget to play along for a chance to be our monthly winner!
Just one card for you this week as I've been short of time. Behind the scenes I've been working on a few cards which I can't share yet, but they will be posted very soon!
Here's my DT card for this one layer theme...
I masked the horizontal strip and die cut a circle mask. I then blended the sunset using three shades of Distress Ink, removed the circle mask and gently blended over it to add a hint of colour. With the horizontal masks still in place I then stamped the foliage. To finish, I removed the masks and stamped the flag sentiment. That was it, super simple.
Materials used:
- Ink: Distress Ink - Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed; Versafine - Onyx Black
- Stamps: Clearly Besotted - Simple Silhouettes and Flag It
- Die (for mask): Hero Arts - Infinity Circle Dies
It's always handy to have these types of cards to hand as they are sometimes a struggle to make when someone is going through a difficult time, so why not use this as an opportunity to stock up. If you need more inspiration my teamies over at Less is More are sharing some great projects and ideas, so do follow the links over at the main challenge blog.
I'll be back on Monday morning to share some exciting news and projects with you so please do pop back and see me if you have time. Have a lovely weekend :)
Stunning, stunning, stunning! I love the scene you created with inks, masking and stamps... These type of one layers are definitely one of my faves. The flag sentiment fits the design perfectly. I'm super impressed by this card! Have a nice weekend!
