Challenge Yourself

What's your least favorite crafty term? The words that make you shudder and want to crawl into a cave? A while ago I said that "CAS" was my terrible term. I've reevaluated that statement, and have come to the conclusion that "ONE LAYER" is definitely my crafty 'four-letter-word'.

So I forced myself to make a one-layer card, for no real good reason, other than pure self torture. This card was also created using the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger photo inspiration. I was mainly inspired by the color scheme and the skinny detailed flowers.

And here is the third attempt at my one-layer Tuesday Trigger card

I stamped the flowers first, then used Distress Inks to blend over a stencil trying to 'mask' around the flower stamp. Then I did some very basic coloring with my Prismacolor Pencils and blended with mineral oil. I used the largest sentiment stamp I had to fill in the card.

I'm not super thrilled with the outcome, but I gave myself a challenge and stuck with it. So I'm glad that it's a finished card! I will admit that there are a few Liquid Pearls dabbed onto the flowers.

To create is to breathe... live a life Inspired
