It is hard to believe that we are now half way through the year and it is time for a new challenge at Less is More and it is everybody's favourite - One Layer Challenge! Remember this is to use just the card base and no additional layers - in the past I wasn't very keen on creating one layer cards but now I quite enjoy the challenge.
I have to be honest with you all - I found this theme a real challenge. I couldn't see beyond using die cut letters but eventually I used die cut masks to create the illusion of layers.
I masked the heart and letters and then ink blended the heart yellow, once dry I put a mask over the heart and used lots of small stamps to add colour and interest to the card as well as creating the edge of the heart. Finally I added the sentiment across the middle.
I used:
UNIKO - Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum, Originally Organics Additions, You are, Yes You
Distress Inks - Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Candied Apple, Mowed Lawn, Crushed Olive
Tim Holtz Alphanumeric Script
Sizzix Hearts #2
I hope you will be inspired to have a go and remember to check out the blog for more inspiration.
Enjoy!
This is absolutely gorgeous, Elaine. What an creative way to make your monogram and keep it to one layer. I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind one layer either but this one had me stumped for a while. Yours however is super and such a clever way of creating it x
ReplyDeleteFabulous layering with inks Elaine and a beautifully decorated heart too. A great creative monogram!
