I
decided to create a one layer card using the OLS15 One Layer Simplicity “Blowin’in the Wind” Challenge (this is the first time that I have played along with the OLS Challenge site :-)) along with the Splitcoaststampers WT520 Monochromatic
Green Challenge (see details here and gallery here) along with the
Splitcoaststampers Mix-Ability MIX112 First Day of Spring Challenge (see
details here and gallery here).
I
had purchased the Watercolor note cards from Stampin’ Up! last year and had yet
to use them- I thought they would be perfect for this challenge and could hold
up under the “abuse” of water for the mixed media elements :-) Not sure if this card has the "simplicity" part of the challenge although it is only one layer :-)
Again,
if you have not had time to visit the challenge sites yet, I encourage you to
do so- wonderful ideas and inspiration from all!
To create
this card:
Original Note Card (Before :-)) |
Lift up
and spritz the ink again lightly and tilt the card front to allow the ink to
spread.
Dry the
card front between layers with the Heat Tool and continue to repeat until you
are satisfied with the results.
Once
the background was covered with Distress Stains, add a few layers of Ranger® Tim Holtz® Adirondack®
Alcohol Inks- Denim, Eggplant, Pearl and Silver.
Place a few drops of each color of the Alcohol Ink over
the background (using only one color at a time), drop a bit of the Alcohol
Blending Solution over the ink, then quickly used the retired Color Spritzer
Tool to move the ink around (versus a drinking straw).
Once the
card front has dried, ink the retired script stamp from Notable Notions using Memento™
Tuxedo Black Ink and stamp over the background in a random fashion.
Use
Versamark™ Ink to stamp the flower stems onto the card front, apply Stampin’ Emboss®
White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
Repeat
the above steps for the sentiment to finish off the card.
