For my one layer card, I when right to my no line water coloring. More practice makes perfect!
Here is my card.
For my card, I started with a base of watercolor card stock. I stamped the flowers from Altenew Adore stamp set, in an arrangement that I liked, with Distressed Ink in Antique Linen. They are colored with Distressed ink in Wild Honey and Bundled Sage and Forest Moss. I really watered down the Wild Honey to make the splatters. The Beautiful script is from Gina K Designs Flowers and Frames stamp set.
I will admit that this is not really a one layer card. I am still uneasy about water coloring directly on a base, so I used a panel and then set it off to one side and added the strip of gold foil.
I am excited to see what yo all will be doing for this challenge. I need ideas too.
Just gorgeous, Barb. I love the arrangement of flowers and your beautiful water coloring.
ReplyDeleteThis. Is. STUNNING! I love it all. The beautiful yellow flowers, the splatters and that fab strip of gold! Gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous coloring here! Really beautiful, and great take on the one layer. No line coloring is a challenge, and you have really nailed it. LOVE the splatters too, really adds to the design. I adore this!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW, your coloring and flower arranging are gorgeous! Love it all
ReplyDeleteAwesome coloring. I just love the gorgeous yellow blooms on your card
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Barbara. Love those pretty flowers and the splattered background.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks spectacular, Barbara! And most people (like me) have difficulty making a pure one layer card, so, a super flat card is just as good, I would say! :)
