Finished card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" folded

For this card I chose to go with black, white, grey theme. I used the dark grey plain cardstock for the base of my card. I used the gorgeous 12x12 patterned paper for my background and mat it with light grey plain cardstock. I love the black/white polka dot bow and managed to do a double bow. I used the plain enamel dots grey. For the sentiment I used the glitter paper from the Celebrate Kit and diecut it 3 times (glitter top layer, grey middle layer and black last later) I offset it slightly to highlight it on this busy card. See photo below.

For this card I used the grey plain cardstock for the base of my card. I used the patterned paper for the background. I love the splatter and decided to add color to the center. Using the twin tags circle stencil on green plain cardstock I inked Club Scrap India Ink & offset Pigment White. I diecut it with a stitched circle die from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I topped it off with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Pattern Play kit.

Club Scrap June Artist Team Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to Club Scrap's June Artist Team Challenge. This month the Artist Team was challenged to create using one layer. This was my hardest challenge yet but I have to admit I love how it took me out of my comfort zone and helped me create the beauties below. Before we start let's take care of some business. If you came from Roni's Blog then you came from the right place. If you didn't you can start at the beginning with Karen from Club Scrap's Blog.

Finished card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

For this card I used the Pattern Play Grey Cardstock for the base of my card. I used the Twin Tags Circles Stencil with Club Scrap Onyx ink, then I slightly offset and used the Club Scrap Peridot Ink. I used the Club Scrap Pigment White Ink to stamp with Pattern Play Stamps. I love what the white ink did to the dots underneath.

I used the 8 1/2" x 11" plain white cardstock from Paris Flea Market for the base of my card. I masked the bottom edge 1" to keep it clean. Using Oxide Inks and a Blending Tool I inked directly to cardstock. I spritzed some water and let dry. I used the gorgeous bicycle stamp from the Paris Flea Market collection using Club Scrap India Ink. The sentiment is from the Bouquet Stamps and also stamped with India Ink.

For this card I used the 12x12 Cherry Blossoms patterned paper for the base of my card. The beauty of the Oxide Inks is that you can ink on a darker cardstock and the colors shows amazing in real life. I used the Wild Rose Stencil with the Oxide Ink. The top layer is the Club Scrap India In. The sentiment is from the Dahlia collection.

For my last card I used the Pattern Play Grey Cardstock for the base of my card. Once again I used the Wild Rose Stencil but this time creating different colored flowers. The sentiment is from the Color Me Happy collection.



Now head on over to Lisa's Blog to continue the awesome inspiration of one layer projects.
