A One-Layer Card

I haven't played with these Painted Flower stamps in quite awhile; I think they were my first purchase from Altenew, and I still love them!  This time I challenged myself to make a 1-layer card.  That meant some masking!


supplies: white cardstock, Altenew Painted Flowers, stamped with Sweet Dreams and Green Valley mini inks, sentiment from (retired) Technique Tuesday Simply You, Penny Black Stitched Stackers die, Doodlebug tiny heart sprinkles

I first stamped my sentiment, then added the die-cut borders above and below it.  Next I stamped the flowers, and couldn't resist adding the tiny hearts - the colors are spot-on!

This sentiment stamp is dated 2012.  It's long retired, of course,  but it is still a favorite of mine. And once again, I'm getting my money's worth from the Stitched Stackers dies - this particular one is seeing its first use; I like the little subtle detail it adds here.  It's just a simple line-die, and never shows up in the pictures of this die set, which is primarily some nested rectangle dies - a nice little bonus!

Thanks for stopping by today!

  7. Continues to delight me, too, Lin! Your use of color really makes those darling roses pop right off your one-layer card! Gorgeous!
