One Layer Script

Hello! Sorry I've been a bit MIA--but as I explained over the weekend, I have a really busy week ahead and so I'm not sure how many cards I'll be able to make and/or post! But I do have a quick one for you tonight. I made it on Saturday and have hemmed and hawed about whether or not to post it. My DH says it's fabulous, so I'm taking a leap of faith that he's right! ;)

This is a one layer card for the current Less Is More challenge--one layer plus script. It was a struggle for me for some reason. Each script stamp I used looked HORRIBLE. Then I pulled out a Kaiser Craft image that I hadn't used yet (yes, I have stamps I've bought and haven't used yet!) and went with that. We'll see how you feel about it...

Here's the card~

Details~



I hope you like it. I heat embossed the image with black embossing powder, colored in the main images with blender pens and bold colors, and then sponged blue over part of the card to create a sky. I added a bunch of rhinestones for some sparkle at the end. Not sure if it was the right move. But I do love my rhinestones!!! ;)

Anyway, thanks for popping by and taking a look! I appreciate you for doing that--happy stamping! :)

  2. I think you did a great job. The embossing and colouring looks very pretty and the rhinestones really balance the card. I would love to be able to master "white space'!
