Hi
Friends!
I
hope all of you are having a great week so far!
We are still receiving quite a bit of rain in our area and I am praying
for all of those who have been affected by flooding and hurricanes. I know that we have received over 300% of our
average rainfall so far this year and additional local flooding is anticipated
this weekend.
I
wanted to take a break from housework, etc. and create a quick card, I decided to use an image from a retired Stampin’ Up! set (isn’t it amazing
what you can find when you decide to organize- lol!) and paired it with a
current image from Stamp Simply for a simple one layer card.
I
will be linking this card to the Less Is More #380 “One Layer Floral” Challenge
along with the Simon Wednesday “Anything Goes” Challenge.
If
you have not had a chance to visit the above challenge galleries yet, I
encourage you to do so- gorgeous ideas and projects by all!
To
create this card:
1). De-static a piece
of white cardstock (FYI- I used a piece I had in my stash that I had obtained free
from my previous job at a printing company- it has a bit of a matte gloss finish
and is quite heavy). Ink the floral
image from the retired Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Serenade stamp set with Versafine™
Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
2). Once the
embossing has cooled, use a water brush and watercolor the image with Tim Holtz® Distress Inks and Stampin’ Write
Markers (see colors listed below). Use a
soft gray marker to add a few shadows.
3). De-static the
lower right hand area for the sentiment, ink the verse image from Fear Not (Stamp
Simply) with Versafine™ Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat
set with a heat tool.
The card is finished- quick and easy and no additional postage required :-)
