Creating One- Layer Card
Creating One-Layer Card
Card making at it’s simplest is a one-layer card. While one-layer cards are the simplest form of card making, they can also be very intimidating when you go to create them. Just one layer – no embellishments, no ribbons, no additional printed papers. How do you create cards without all your favourite supplies?
The first step in creating a one-layer card is to keep it simple. Of course the term simple can represent very different styles. Think about a great image and the perfect sentiment and go from there. Don’t worry about whether your printed paper matches your ribbon. In fact, the main supplies you will need for one-layer card creations are usually cardstock, stamps, ink or markers.
Sometimes, coming up with a great clean-and-simple design can be as easy as limiting yourself to fewer—yes, I said “fewer”—supplies. Limitations have a way of sparking the imagination, encouraging you to consider different ways to use what you have; in other words, less can actually be more!
In today’s project I have used the Work of Art Stamp Set, I’ve taken one image and stamped it multiple times onto my project using a rainbow of colours. The ink colours I have used are Melom Mambo, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie & Blushing Bride.
I wanted to add a bit of bling, because every card must have some sort of bling, right? I’ve changed to colour of my rhinestone by colouring them in using a yellow sharpie marker.
Tricks & Tips
- Stamp the same image in different colours for repatriation
- Add colour to rhinestone by colouring in with a Sharpie or permanent marker
