Make My Monday: Create A Scene!

Hello, friends! We've got a fabulous challenge for you over at Make My Monday this week! The monthly theme is nature and this week we're asking you to "Create a Scene"!

Here's my card~

Some details~

I had much fun and enjoyment making this card! I went for some soft and subtle colors as I'm in a springtime mood. :) I stamped the different plant images, masked off a circle for the white "sun" and sponged a blue sky, and then dry embossed the panel. I adhered it to the card and added the sentiment, butterfly, and ribbon. Just a tip--make sure to stamp your images lightest to darkest so your lighter inks don't get dark ink on them...

I hope you'll come and try to play along--and please take a peek over at the other DT's creations--you will be happy you did! Happy stamping!!!

One Layer Wonders?

So. One layer cards are a relatively new thing for me. I LOVE them, they just are a bit challenging for me! So, when my FAVORITE one layer challenge, OLW, returned and then I saw the One Layer Projects challenge over at Wee Memories, I knew it was time for me to return to my new pastime! The OLW challenge this week was coloring--use a line image and color it in any way you want. I used that as the basis for my two cards.

Here is the first~

I punched out a strip of scallop edge and sponged the edges for the frames in these cards. Not sure if this technique is already named, but I'm dubbing it sponge masking...I'll come up with something better later...unless you have the real name for it? I then stamped and colored in the images with blender pens and then added dimension with a glitter gel pen.

Closer look of the glittery leaves~

And here's the second card--I LOVE this one better. It's just prettier in my opinion. I made the first one with the leaves since fall is coming...but I LOVE this poppy image.
