The current one layer challenge over at Less is More 'At Sea' had me pondering for a while as lots of my thoughts had already been channelled into some brilliant entries. Then I thought of a set of stamps here which always makes me smile - and as a result made this card:
I used:
- 5" x 5" square white card blank
- image and sentiment stamp from an Acid Drops & Whatnots set (magazine freebie a while ago), stamped using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink
- coloured the image using Faber Castell Polychromos pencil and Sansodor blending solution
- added two little drops of water underneath the sentiment and coloured them in - really just to link the water together more so the sentiment wasn't just like an add-on
- finally rounded off the top right hand corner using We R Memory Keepers corner chomper

ReplyDeleteAn another thing dun menshun the knitted woollen cozy me Mum made cos it was much cheaper than buying one. It's stripped cos it wos all odd balls. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteCrying with laughter here! I had a woollen cozy too, fink it woz shop bought though, and it used to hang round me knees when I got outta the water. Am sure I have a photo in an all bum somewhere - must have a look see. Even worse was the rubber hat with the strap under the chin! Snort :) xx
DeleteA fantastic card Di. I think the Acid Drops stamps are really clever and the sentiments crack me up. Your girl has such a dear face.
ReplyDeleteI also had a woollen costume. It was green with seahorses on. I'm fair skinned and was red headed and can you believe what my mum rubbed on me when I was on the beach in the sun - No, not factor 50 - olive oil! Barbxx
This image is great for a one layer card and love the sentiment too Di. I seem to recall a picture taken of me as a young child wearing one of those knitted numbers and how droopy it looked when wet ... yuk! x
ReplyDeleteOh, Di, I think this is bound to be a winner! It is simply a perfect OLC for the brief! Well done!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteSuper OLC Di!
ReplyDeleteFab placement!
Thanks so much
