Amazing Grace- One Layer Card



Hi Again Stampers!!

This Clean and Simple (CAS) One Layer card was created using the IN{K}SPIRE_me #249  Color Challenge along with the One Layer Simplicity OLS27 "Fruit Smoothie" Challenge and the CAS(E) This Sketch #172 Sketch Challenge.

Again, if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above challenge sites to check out their fabulous Design Team samples and challenge entries!

To create this card:

Fold a piece of 4 ¼” x 11” Extra Thick Whisper White cardstock in half for the card base.

Ink the sentiment from How Sweet the Sound (Our Daily Bread Designs) with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp onto the card front.

Use sticky note paper to create a mask over the sentiment, ink the Fragrance floral image (ODBD) with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink and stamp around the sentiment.

Use an AquaPainter™ with Rose Red Classic Ink to color the flowers and add additional shadows with the Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Write Marker.

Use Stampin’ Write Markers- Hello Honey for the flower center and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves to finish coloring the flowers.

Add Rose Red and Rich Razzleberry ink to the center of a clear envelope (cut open like a book- this is a modified Smakin' Acetate technique :-)), spritz with water, “smoosh” the marker ink between the acetate of the envelope, lay portions of the card front onto the ink to add the splatter on the corners.

Add additional splatter with the Grunge Elements (Artistic Outpost) stamp and Stāz-On® Stone Gray Ink (stamping off before stamping onto the card front).

Card base was decorated only-
no additional layers :-)
Add the definition lines with a ruler and a Faber-Castell® Pitt Pen “B” Black Marker and apply Clear Wink of Stella® to the flowers to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: How Sweet the Sound & Fragrance (Our Daily Bread Designs), Grunge Elements (Artistic Outpost)

Ink/Mediums: Stāz-On® Jet Black, Rose Red; Stampin’ Write Markers- Rose Red, Rich Razzleberry, Hello Honey, Pear Pizzazz; Clear Wink of Stella®, Faber-Castell® Pitt Pen Black Marker

Paper: Extra Thick Whisper White

Accessories: AquaPainter™, Ruler, Sticky Note Paper, Clear Envelope, Water Spritzer Bottle


Thanks again for taking the time to stop by- hugs and have a blessed week, my friends!
