I have a card to share with you today that is very UNLIKE my style.
It is a ONE LAYER card and I've used the EMBOSS RESIST TECHNIQUE on the image.
I found TWO challenges that intrigued me
so I combined the two and came up with this creation.
The two challenges I referred to are:
Heather Telford (Bits & Pieces) is hosting for the One Layer Wednesday Challenge and I found the Technique Challenge at Blockheads Paper Arts through Anne Temple (Anne-Made).
For the One Layer Challenge, your image could not be larger than 2x2 so I used Eclipse Masking to make that size box on my card front ... stamped this beautiful butterfly/flower image by Inkadinkado with Versamark, embossed with clear embossing powder then sponged over the image with Tim Holtz 'Broken China' distress ink. The sentiment is by The Stamp Pad and was also stamped in the Broken China ink.
I'm really pleased with the outcome of this card and just might have to make more of this CAS style to have in my stash for the Fall Craft Show!
A few other qualifying challenges for this creation are:
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Clean and Simple
Truly Scrumptious - Anything Goes
Sundays With Crissy - Things with Wings
Oldie But A Goodie Challenge - Things with Wings (both stamps are at least 2 years old)
Top Tip Tuesday #7 - Clean and Simple
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Simply No Design Paper Birthdays
