I really enjoyed coming up with a one-layer card last week, and decided to try another one, both for Less Is More (my second entry) and AAA Cards where the challenge is a sketch.
I opted to use Copic markers rather than watercolor since I wanted to use Neenah #110 cardstock to dry emboss the My Favorite Things “Peek-a-Boo” die.
Once I embossed the rectangle, I stamped the smallest flower from Pink Fresh Studio’s new “Friendship Blooms” stamp set. I won a $25 gift certificate during their release blog hop, and decided to purchase this stamp set. It has gorgeous florals and wonderful sentiments. You’ll be seeing more of it soon.
After coloring the floral with Copic markers and adding some detail with Polychromos colored pencils, I stamped a simple greeting from Sentiment Suite: Birthday by The Greetery. Although I also use the Peek-a-Boo window die to cut an open window, I think I prefer it embossed.
One of my intentions for March is to use as many unused or new stamps or dies as I can. I gathered them altogether and put them in a basket. Some of them are relatively new, but to my chagrin, some of them have been in my collection for well over a year! No more purchases until I’ve worked my way through the pile.
Oh how lovely! A really beautiful card; understated but so effective.
A wonderful showcase of what a One Layer card is ! This lovely flower looks so beautiful over the wide blank card and I love the dry embossed frame, it gives such a lovely dimension. Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More.
Lovely card & I like the idea of using all new purchases in March.
Beautiful! The embossed frame just adds that little bit of extra pizzazz. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Had to come see!! OH yes, I can tell I’ll love it already, Karen!
Your card is gorgeous – and what a beautiful pink!
