There are actually two challenges that overlap by just a few hours that are both featuring a one layer challenge. This will be my second entry to AAA Cards, and my first to Addicted to CAS.
I actually needed two anniversary cards and altered them only by the color of the cardstock I used. Only one of them qualifies as one layer, though, because I added a few pearls to the pink card.
After stamping Altenew’s “Flower Vine” in light ink, I colored both images with colored pencils, and then embossed the images in gold. This works as long as you keep the stamp in your MISTI. I’m always a bit nervous that the card won’t be in quite the same place.
The sentiment from The Greetery’s Sentiment Suite: Love was also embossed in gold.
I’ll be back tomorrow with the Father’s Day cards I’ve been working on this week.
Oh, lovely! It reminds me of a Singaporean design. Beautiful.
So pretty, Karen! Reminds me of cloisonné.
Wow! Stunning in both colourways! Thanks for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Both are beautiful & elegant.
I love that stamp and what you’ve done with it! Thanks for playing along with us a AAACards!
Beautiful cards! Thanks for joining AAA Cards! Hugs Åsa
Saw your cards on the Addicted to CAS challenge and knew I needed a closer look. They’re stunning, especially on the black card stock. Love your tip about stamping in light color, using pencils and then stamping again and embossing in gold. Thanks for the inspiration and giving me some fun ideas to play with my own stamps.
