Less is More ... One Layer

Good morning!  It is time for a new challenge at Less is More and it is everyone's 'favourite' one layer!


I hope the more we create one layer cards the easier they are!  I have two cards to share one using stamps and the other a stencil.



I stamped the rose and then masked it before stamping the background.  I water coloured the rose with distress inks and stamped the sentiment. I scored the frame around the image to make it pop and to hold it together.

I used:
UNIKO - Pure Florals: Rose
               Simply Said
Indigo Blu - Honeycomb Background
Distress Inks - Twisted Citron, Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin and Peeled Paint.

My second card:



I used inktense pencils and a water brush through the stencil to create the flower - I never have much success with paint or ink blending through a stencil.  The image actually goes around back of the card.

I used:
UNIKO Stencil
Inktense pencils
Versafine Onyx Black Ink

I hope you will be able to find time to join in with the challenge and I look forward to seeing your cards.

Stay Safe and Keep Crafting!

  2. These are both absolutely wonderful. Your coloring is perfect, and I love the background. The scoring lines are the perfect finish. I LOVE the second. I just got inktense pencils and am going to try this technique. I must say that I am a little afraid of them but, you have inspired me. Gorgeous makes for our BD challenge.
