Dandelion Wishes

It's always fun to see how much interest can be created with a single layer.  Single layer cards are great because no extra postage is needed.  For today's card, I headed over to this week's Sketch Challenge at Splitcoaststampers.  The sketch calls for a narrow card so I created the card base to fit my A6 envelopes since I don't have a really tall envelope. The finished card is 6 1/4 x 4. To keep my design to a single layer I masked off the edges of the lower portion of the card and blended Distress Inks in Vintage Photo and Salty Ocean with the amazing Life Changing Blender Brushes.  I love how smoothly the ink glides across the paper with these brushes and no more sponges coming apart and leaving harsh lines!

I stamped one of the three dandelion images in the Dandelion Wishes set by Picket Fence Studios multiple times and for my sentiment went with (prayers sent for you) from the Neighborhood stamp set.

Hello, there!  It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a brand new sketch at Splitcoaststampers!  Carey created our lovely SC660 sketch.  I will confess that I made a little mistake so the sketch is flipped! I had the sketch up on my computer screen the entire time I was creating but it wasn't until the end of the night that I looked at the card and realized I had the triangles flipped!  A fun bonus when playing along with a Splitcoaststampers challenge is that the challenges don't expire AND they are meant to inspire which means we don't have to follow them to the letter or in my case  EXACT placement!  

For today's card, I used Sweet N Sassy Stamps: New Creature, Lovely Lotus, and Sympathy Innies.  I splattered watery ink onto the sentiment layer.  The colors on this card was inspired by the Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers, CC650. The butterfly is colored with Chameleon Color Tones Markers and Color Tops. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you will head on over to Splitcoaststampers and join us!
