Quick one layer card…

Posted by DeAnna

I thought I would quickly share a one layer card I did yesterday as part of a facebook challenge Hero Arts put on for 1.11.11. I don’t usually do one layer cards but I thought I would challenge myself.

First I stamped the heart in Fired Brick distress ink on white cardstock. Then I stamped it on a sticky note and cut it out leaving a bit of room for a border (not much, mind you). I placed the sticky note over the cardstock and then stamped the flourish in Ancient Page chocolate ink and then stamped the friend definition in Ancient Linen distress ink. I used my ink blending tool to distress and fade the background (with the sticky note still on the cardstock) and then used the chocolate ink to add depth to the edges. I then removed the sticky note leaving the space under it still white so the heart stands out. I stamped the love you (from Daisy Bucket) in Fired Brick as well, and then added my embellishments. I tucked the stick pins from Making Memories into the shank of the heart button, then through the ribbon and used glossy accents to hold them in place. That was it! I love how it turned out. Try masking to add depth and interest to your card and create a one layer card!! It’s fun to try new techniques and new styles.
