Rules for OLW19
1. A one-layer card is defined as a single piece of cardstock folded in half.
2. Make a card that is mostly black and white with just a spot of color. Remember to keep embellishments to minimum.
Sounds easy right? I gotta say, I struggle with the only one layer thing, but here's mine:
Recipe:
All product CTMH
1386 Black cardstock
C1327 Snowflake Kisses stamp set
Z673 White Daisy Embossing Powder
Z1327 Sparkles
Z555Craft Heater
This card turned out like I had planned, but I gotta say that white embossing powder on black cardstock is a pain in the @#$%. This was my 3rd attempt. I kept getting stray specks where I didn't want them.
Summary, my CAS card is clean, but I can't say it was exactly simple...
I like this card, but I won't be making it in bulk!

This is perfect, Lorrinda. Everyone has fits getting white images on black cardstock. And certain embossing powders scatter far worse than other, I don't know why. The little bags to prevent that help, but don't cure.
ReplyDeleteI love how you placed the snowflakes and nestled the sentiment in the curve.
What really cracks me up about the one-layer card Challenge is that it takes so much wasted paper, I might as well have made a card with six layers on it. Currently I'm on my third try and haven't got a card to post yet!
As I was doing my cards for this challenge, I wondered if anyone would do a black card with white ink and color. You are a brave soul and you did it with panache! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, it's worth all the effort, :) xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you used the opposite of most of us...the white is fab on the black background. I didn't try that because I'm terrible at embossing! Your card looks awesome!!
