My card features Mondo Sakura from Essentials by Ellen, Need for Tweed background stamp from Raisin Boat and border and sentiment stamps from Choose Joy set from Simon Says Stamp. The inks I used is Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink and VersaFine Oynx black ink.
I used Neenah Classic Crest solar white card stock. My idea for this card was definitely inspired by Jennifer McGuire's video she posted a couple of days ago. I liked this idea and I really wanted to give it a try with what supplies I have here. The only thing I don't like about my card is how the coloring turned out on the flowers. Note to self - tip to you: Zig Real Brush clean color marks do not color well on Neenah card stock! Use the Bristol Smooth! It's blotchy and it doesn't blend well. But my sister thought the card looked pretty so I went with it.
This is essentially a one layer card - a lot of masking and double stamping using the MISTI.
I hope you like the card and that'll you join us over at Tuesday Morning Sketches for this challenge. Please be sure to visit the design team blogs, too. They deserve your kind words.
4 Encouraging Thoughts:
I admire anyone who can make a one-layer card, especially one this pretty! I really like that image and sentiment combo!
I definitely have a weakness for pretty feminine cards Melissa so I LOOOOOVE this!!
Wow! This is gorgeous! I love all the stamps you used, and I'm so impressed that this is one layer!
To be a one layer card, there is a lot of dimension in it. I so like the image. You have really been using a lot of creative techniques on your cards lately, and they have all been lovely -- this one is no exception.
