Another card challenge, this month from Hero Arts.
New One Layer Challenge! - The Hero Club Blog |
Create a one layer card. Use one piece of cardstock as your card base
with no additional paper layers. Sponge, mask, emboss, glitter, and
color to your heart’s content — so many techniques lend themselves to
one layer cards! Embellishments ARE allowed for this challenge.
My first idea was to do a little chalkboard number
with three layers of stamping...
...but I think I need more practice
at masking the different layers.
I do like how the polka dots look
colored in w/marker, though.
Then I tried a peekaboo card...
...and liked the idea but not the kraft,
so off to troll my kit for inspiration!
I decided to dry emboss the polka dots,
on vellum. I am strictly speaking using one
layer but I get the advantage of a peek at
everything on the inside.
Unfortunately, I first stamped the Hero Arts doily
stamp on the wrong side of the vellum & after wiping
off the ink now the vellum is curling - ugh.
It was a fun experiment, though!

A challenging challenge LOL - love what you did!
ReplyDeleteI also like the colored polka dots and the cut out on the second card. One layer cards are always a challenge.

I didn't know vellum had a wrong side. Love watching you experiment.
ReplyDeleteSusanne, it does when you have already dry embossed the dots, lol!
DeleteFun cards and I like the way you explain to do this :)
