Here today to share this one layer card that features stamping only!
I rarely make one layer cards because I really love adding dimension to stuff, and one layer cards are challenging to me because I find it trickier to add interest with only one layer.
I also make tons of mistakes while stamping, so a card with this much stamping...NOT EASY FOR ME. I just used good ol' acrylic blocks to do all of the stamping -- no stamp positioning tool, so no "safety net". Basically I was REALLY NERVOUS the entire time. Ha! :D With each part that I stamped, I held my breath and prayed. Usually things might go well at first, but a giant mistake will happen when I'm 75%-85% done [you know how it goes], so I was really relieved when this card was finished! Some of my stamping didn't go well, but I touched up missing spots with markers. SNEAKY.
I started off by stamping the striped background using a Cover-A-Card background stamp from Impression Obsession called Thick Stripes. The fruits and sentiment are from Clearly Besotted's Fruitilicious stamp set. I wanted to 'frame' the sentiment a little bit to draw more attention to it, so I stamped the watermelon seeds on either side of it. :o)
Since my card has stripes on it, I'm entering it in the current challenge at Virginia's View!
