Hi
Friends!!
I
am still working on organizing my stamping area but decided to take a break to create a
One Layer CAS (Clean and Simple) card using the Timeless Classic stamp set along with the large splatter image from the retired
Stampin’ Up! Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I had originally purchased the Timeless Classic stamp set from Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps several years ago (it is retired now from SNSS but is still available from Impression Obsession™ t/a I/O Stamps) and have only inked it up once before today :-)
I thought the vintage truck image would be
perfect for the Less Is More #341 “One Layer Vehicles” Challenge as well as The Paper Players #357 Sandy's Color Challenge, the Addicted to CAS #117 “One Layer”Challenge and the Watercooler Wednesday #132 “Masculine Anything Goes”Challenge.
If
you have not already had a chance to visit the above challenge sites, I hope
you will do so- fabulous examples from their Design Teams as well as in their
galleries!
To create
this card:
1). Score
a 4 ¼” x 11” piece of Stampin’ Up! Naturals White (retired) cardstock in half
and stamp the Timeless Classic truck image onto the front of the card using
Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink. Heat set the
ink with a heat tool and color using an AquaPainter™ with ink from the Bermuda
Bay, Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral Classic Ink Pads. Use a Spectrum Noir™ CB8 Alcohol Marker to
add additional color to the truck and the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Write Marker
for shadows.
2). Mask
the entire truck image and stamp the large splatter image from Gorgeous Grunge
with Bermuda Bay and Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink (I did use the AquaPainter™ to
blend the ink a bit).
3).
Remove the mask and use a Faber-Castell™ Silver Pitt Pen Marker to color the
gears, border frame, wheel covers and fender.
Add shimmer to the truck panels with a Spectrum Noir™ Clear Glitter Pen
and white highlights to the wheels with an Extra Fine Sharpie® White Paint Pen.
4).
Finish off the card by stamping the sentiment from Timeless Classic with
Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink and adding a few drops to the center of the gears
using Nuvo™ Gloss Black Crystal Drops.

Julie one layer CAS cards are probably the hardest ones to make, but you've made a work of art with this design and it's beautifully CAS. The truck almost looks 3-D in that frame. Love everything about this uber-masculine CAS card. Thanks for joining us at the Watercooler this week for the Masculine Challenge and sharing your many talents.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that this is a one layer card as there is so much depth in the truck and then the grungy background seems to add a whole new layer. Such a wonderful creation and a really interesting use of the challenge colours. Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
ReplyDeleteOh Julie, what a remarkably executed card! Keeping your card to one layer and yet getting all those details by meticulously masking makes this a real work of art. There is nothing about this card that does not appeal to me and that isn't simply perfect. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteTerrific card. Thanks for sharing at Less is More!
ReplyDeleteWow, Julie! This card knocks me out! So much interest on one layer, and a terrific way to use the colors on a masculine card. Thanks so much for playing along with my color challenge at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card with dream dimension. Love that for OLCs. Thank you for joining us this week at Less is More. Trina xx
ReplyDeleteLOVE how this turned out Julie! love the detail and the colors.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! Wonderful card. That red truck looks it could drive right off the card. Love how you've used the Gorgeous Grunge splotch image. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteFantastic card, Julie! That truck looks like it could drive ride off the card. Thanks for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
ReplyDeleteI adore this masculine card! Your image, colors and overall design are fabulous! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Watercooler Wednesday!
