So, as I said I made this card with both Lawnscapings and CAS-ual Fridays on the brain:
Lawnscapings #16 - One Layer Cards
August 17, 2011
Keep the Sun in your Heart
You know, I just love that sentiment and I've not yet used it since I got Lawn Fawn's Partly Cloudy set forever ago! This card was a bit difficult for me, mainly because it had to be ONE LAYER, because I wanted to play along with the latest challenge over at Lawnscapings! I didn't know if I'd be able to make that happen, but then I saw this week's CAS-ual Friday's challenge, and I had an idea that matched the sketch and involved LOTS of Distress Ink (which I've been SUPER into lately!) Here's the final result:
This card really turned out better than I expected! I masked off that white strip and went to town with my Broken China distress ink! Then, I masked off the blue and stamped the white area with elements from Lawn Fawn's Partly Cloudy and Blissful Botanicals. I drew in my own flower stems and added some embroidery floss and pearls as added embellishments! I really like the way that the embroidery floss looks twisted around the front of the card, too! It's a super fun technique!

Fabulous one layer card! The way you masked off the white strip and then distressed the sides totally gives it the look of a multi-layer card without the bulk! LOVE that! And that smiling sunshine and sentiment are sweet as can be!
