One Layer Cards at Crafting By Designs

I am delighted to be involved with this challenge blog! I have been with Crafting By Designs for well over a year now and continue to be challenged and inspired. This week is no exception. The theme is 'One Layer Cards' and this is something very alien to me! I like my layers and some embellishing and a bit of glitter etc so I knew this would be tricky. We have a fabulous sponsor though - Rosey Hearts.

I started out with my image - The Creeps Bunz Outline - and placed him on a 6x6 new panel on Photoshop. I found a sentiment I like from Create with TLC and placed that too beside him on the panel and when I was happy I played around with the settings on both photoshop and my printer setup with lots of blank paper till I worked out exactly how to print it directly onto a 6x6 card blank. So, about 40 minutes after I started I had a card to colour! I am sure there are easier ways, but now that I know it, I will know for next time.

I coloured him with Promarkers and a black Derwent Coloursoft pencil. My only issue being that I did not use the same card for my blank as I usually do for colouring so the paper and pens did not react the same way - something I will need to keep in mind. All in all though, I am very happy with my One Layer, CAS card.

New Images at Rosey Hearts Digi Store

We have some fabulous new images for you today at Rosey Hearts and I hope you will love them as much as I do! I have coloured 'Updo' using coloured pencils only! Not a Promarker in sight! And I've gotten a bit inky for the background and done a stand alone art journal style A5 page after reading the April Craft Stamper magazine and being inspired.

I started with a sheet of Watercolour paper and used Dusty Concord Distress Paint in the corners through a cheap star stencil. After this was dry I have sprayed a selection of Dylusions - Vibrant Turquoise, Crushed Grape and Postbox Red. I inked some Dusty Concord DI through a circle stencil across the background and using black Archival stamped the Visible Image 'Retro Dots' stamp randomly without an acrylic block. To finish I've used the Visible Image 'Create With Your Soul' stamp for the main sentiment and attached the image.

I will enter this in the following challenges -
Craft Stamper - Take It Make It April Challenge
Create and Inspire - #19 AG
Not Just Cards - #17 AG
Moving Along With The Times - Anything but a Square Card
Crafting With an Attitude - Freestyle/Fantasy
Crafting from the Heart - #55 AG

I have another fabulous image to share with you today from Rosey Hearts. This is called Show Girl Sweetie and I have coloured her with Promarkers and some Black Derwent Coloursoft Pencil.

I have used a 7x7" card blank to show of this image with papers from an older Craftwork Cards kit called 'Elegant' with matching layered flowers. The sentiment is from Create with TLC and I've added some pearls and a paper straw to embellish.

I will enter this card in the following challenges -
