A One Layer Card

Hi! This is a quick post to share a card I made for Kristina’s One Layer Card Challenge… This time, she is asking you to make a card with just one layer. As the focal point for my card, I used a wooden HA stamp that I think is perfect for the challenge. I directly applied different colors of  Distress ink, and sprayed plain water on it. The stamped image has a watercolor look 😉  This is one of the many techniques you can do using Distress Ink 😀 (You can  find some of those techniques at HA ) To finish my card, I stamped a sentiment, and some stitches:

Supplies:
Card stock: Strathmore (watercolor paper)•
Stamps: Hero Arts (Silhouette Meadow Flowers) (Thank You Sayings) • Kelly Panacci (stitches) •
Ink:   Distress Ink (Faded Jeans) (Tattered Rose) ((Shabby Shutters) (Peeled Paint) • Versafine (Vintage Sepia) •
Tools:  Creative Memories (corner punch) •

Be Happy & Tutorial

Hi there! I have a card to share 😀 I made this card to play along in the MFW Picking Up the Pieces Challenge. Well, I missed it …lol…They already  posted the winners 😀   Anyway, using the HA Be Happy Stamp Set, and the piecing technique I made this card:

While I was making my card, I thought it would be a good idea to share how I stamped the grass. So, I took some pictures that show how to make a continued grass image with a single stamp:

1) Stamp the grass image on a piece of white piece of paper.

2) Trim off the left, and right edges of the stamped image using detail scissors.

3) Add removable adhesive to the back of the white piece of paper (this is going to be a mask).

4) Stamp the grass image on the center of a green piece of paper.

5) Adhere the mask over the stamped image (green paper), and start stamping the grass image on both sides of the mask.

7) Move the mask over the other stamped images, and stamp again until you fill the paper with grass images on both sides.

8 ) Finally, you just need to use your craft knife to detail the grass and presto! Now you have a complete grass image for a card or any project 😀

Thanks for visiting 🙂 Have a great day!

A Happy Mother’s Day Card

Hello there! Today I am sharing a card I made using a HA digi-stamp. Actually, the original flower has a short stem. So, I drew a long stem, and a couple of leaves too 😉 I colored them using Copic markers, and I added texture to the background. I complemented the card with a sentiment, stitching, twine and a button. Here is how it looks:
