CSF Saturday Blog Hop - One Layer Cards

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is one layer cards. There were lots of ways to go with this theme, like creating a faux DSP background, but I went with CAS because that was more of a challenge to me. You know I love layers and textures and embellishments, definitely not a single layer!

I used a piece of scrap paper to make the mask using a Perennial Postage die, and blended Azure Afternoon onto the card base. Before removing the mask, I carefully traced around it with a pencil to give it more of a 3D look.

The balloons were stamped and colored with watercolor pencils, because Stampin' Blends would have bled through to the inside. Then I spattered Wink of Stella over it before removing the mask. I was afraid using embellishments would be cheating, lol.

The corner daisies are one of the dies in the Spring Corners bundle. I like that they added a little texture without adding any layers. All that was needed at that point was the birthday greeting, and the card was complete!

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.
