One Layer Card


We have a brand new challenge at Top Tip Tuesday for you. The lovely Deneen is our hostess this fortnight and she is challenging you to create a card with only one layer. Before you panic she's put together a fabulous tutorial on the TTT blog with great ideas for making your one layer card stand out. Click the link to view it and all of the amazing inspiration by my teamies and our guest designers. The DT was privileged to work with images from Robyn's Fetish and my card features Gilded Christmas Dove. I determined what colors I wanted to use and laid the base color down with Copic's. To get the stained glass effect I was going for I applied opal liquid pearls on the body of the dove and stickles in red, green, yellow, and royal blue to highlight the graphic design. My tip-I used a black Copic marker to outline the edge of my digital image which visually lifts it off the page. A craft knife helped me trim a few of the tail feathers setting my dove in motion and I'll use a die cut label to cover my teeny tiny cuts on the inside. Some of us on the DT struggled with this challenge, myself included, and Samantha was kind enough to let us add some bling and ribbon if it wasn't too much. ;) So I did and now it doesn't feel so bare lol.

Hope Today

Designed by Lisa S. for Nicecrane Designs

knocks your socks off! Hello all, I haven't meant to be away so long but I'm back to share a card and some exciting news. Recently I was asked by Ignacio of Nicecrane Designs to design for him and I jumped at the opportunity. He is a graphic designer who has an online store offering digital images & sheets, backgrounds, collage sheets and more. In case you are not into coloring Nicecrane Designs also offers pre-colored images and sheets. I have found a bonus to using digital products is cost and storage. Simply download, save to your computer and enjoy endless creativity!

For my first card I chose a vintage image from Nicecrane's Kiddie Land II DSL Digital Stamp Sheet. This little guy seems to be having some trouble with his sock and I love the expression on his face, it's priceless. I colored him with Copic markers, fussy cut him out and popped him up on foam tape to add dimension. As I was choosing a sentiment I came across this one and it gave me a giggle! I should note that I used the current sketch from Unscripted Sketches #168 challenge for sketch inspiration. The ABC challenge required us to use "two of something" and my two elements are dies, the banner flag was used for my sentiment and a wonky rectangle provides a nice backdrop for my colored image. Both were distressed with antique linen ink so they would stand out more.

I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope everyone will drop by Nicecrane Designs to view all of the wonderful products there. It's a papercrafters digital haven!
