One-layer Birthday

Hi Friends!

Got another one-layer card for you, this time a slimline one ...

I used Worn Lipstick, Broken China and Weathered Wood Distress Oxides in combination with my Triangles Flexi-Template for the background to which I added a few water splatters. The rose and sentiment are simply stamped.

I am entering my card at:

AAA Cards Challenge - CAS Game #182, one layer with optional twist of silhouettes

Keeping it short and sweet today.
Wishing you a wonderful day!

AAA Cards Challenge Guest Designer

Hi Crafty Friends!

I've been asked to guest design over at AAA Cards Challenge for their CAS Game #182 which starts today. Here is my project ...

As you can see from the graphic below, the request is fro a one-layer card with the optional twist of silhouettes. My card includes both.

To keep with the CAS look, I decided to align the Triangles Flexi-Template as shown in the photo below. This would allow me to add colour for the background while at the same time highlighting the white space and contributing to a bright and airy feel.

 

I finished off with a silhouette and sentiment by Uniko.

Fancy playing along at the AAA Cards Challenge, pop over to their blog to check out the fabulous projects their team created and to link up your one-layer card too.

Here is what I used in my card:

- Stamp sets: Just Because for the silhouette and Pure Florals: Peony for the sentiment by Uniko

- Trinagles Flexi-Template, MonikaSkinner Designs by STAMPlorations {link is an affiliate link}

- Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Elegant Eggplant inks by Sampin'Up!

That's it from me for today. Wishing you a lovely Sunday!

hugs

November Theme & Photo Prompt Reminder

Hi Crafty Friends!

Just a quick reminder that there is still time to play along at STAMPlorations November Challenges. Here is my reminder DT project for their Theme & Photo Prompt challenge ...

As you can see the inspiration for my one-layer card came from both the theme and the photo prompt. To start I stamped the circular shapes using stamps from the Artsy Tribal Doodles set. To add contrast, I then used a shape from the Triangles Flexi-Template to help me doodle the border before finishing off with a sentiment from the Birds Of Paradise set.

As for the Theme & Photo Prompt Challenge prizes:
One winner of a $20 gift code will be picked by one member of our DT.
Plus 3 randomly drawn winners will each receive a $7 gift code.

Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations at STAMPlorations - Day 5

 Hi Crafty Friends!

Welcome to Day 5 of STAMPlorations Belated 7th Birthday Celebrations. It's an opportunity to showcase some of their newer products too.

Today I am putting the focus on two of my Flexi-Templates, the Triangles and the Squares. Have a look on how I used them ...

For my first card, I created a random pattern using the Triangles Flexi-Template. I sponged a piece of card with yellow (Daffodil Delight SU ink), attached the small triangle as mask and sponged with orange {Cire Izink ink). Leaving the small triangle in place, I attached another triangle and  lightly sponged with The Izink ink. I added anothe triangle and sponged a little more with the same ink. I finished off with a stamped sentiment and chevron stickers.

The next card uses the Squares Flexi-Template assembled to form a stencil.

I arranged the squares as shown in the photo below to create my stencil and used it to sponge my stripes.

A sentiment from Big Greetings finishes my card off.
