Okay, here's an under 10 minute, single-layered card! I made a classic panelled card using PT Stampers Select White CS and my largest Nestabilities rectangle to emboss the middle. Next I stamped my HUGE greeting from "What's In Your Tin?" 2 in the middle in Palette Noir ink. Doesn't it just fill that space perfectly? I masked the bottom and sides of the interior panel with posts its, then stamped Carolyn's grass in Certainly Celery(my fave green ink, tied with Old Olive) along the bottom. I used the large paper flowers from Gina's bling promo this month (spend $100 or more in her store on one order, get a free tin of assorted embellishments!) and the mega rhinestone brads for the centers. An odd number of embellishments makes a very pleasing layout. The flowers are attached with dimensionals, which I placed on and outside the panel. I used my SU! Certainly Celery marker to draw in the stems, and inked up and stamped the individual leaf from the same set to fill out my layout.Have I mentioned I LOVE single layer cards???
Thanks for stopping by! Upcoming: posts, a new contest, blog candy, more tutorials, and a tag!!
You do single layer cards that make 3 and 4 layer cards look pitiful! I love that card and I will have to have a go at a single layer design very soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing a simple sample. I don't have a lot of extra time to develop multi-layered cards, especially working full-time. Please continue doing more for those of us who love to stamp, but just can't spend hours on one card.
