One layer card, what's that? You mean I can't use foam dimensionals? Paper piecing? Yikes. Well that was the challenge at Lawnscapings this go round and I was determined to play along.
I even tried to cheat and give my card the appearance of some depth by using my T1 copic to shade around the heart, but I swear to you there is only one layer going on here. Sidenote - using Black Soot Distress Ink and blending when you have a big white space (and want to keep it white) is dangerous stuff. I almost had a disaster on my hands when I dropped the foam blender right on top of the heart, but by some miracle no black ink transfered. It also took me a hundred tries to draw a heart that looked somewhat symmetrical, and then cut it out smooth enough so when I used it to mask off that space it didn't look like a 2 year old did it.

I think you have done an amazing job with the one layer challenge! I haven't played along yet but I have an idea, just waiting and hoping some new Quinn's ABC's show up in the mail in time to play along. I love the white heart with the grey soot distress ink around it. Very nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, hello. This is brilliant!!!!!!! I love all the dimension you added and managed to keep it one layer..... Love the black soot and the blue letters!!! And I applaud you for being able to get that heart masked on there. I can not free hand or cut shapes without a template and even then, it looks like a 2 year old did it! This is fantastic! THANK YOU for stepping outside of the comfort zone and playing along with us!!! I love itl
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea!! It looks layered to me, which is just brilliant.
