One Layer Card : Coffee Please!

Hi allCreate A Smile first ever kit release is starting soon so go ahead and go to the Facebook link to join :D

Today, I'm switching from Stretching Your Stamps to One Layer Cards. I will try to have my weekly Sunday posts here for a few weeks to give you ideas on One Layer Cards using Create A Smile products!






The idea is to inspire you to create one layer card with the look of dimension :) 


Starting of with stamping my sentiment on my watercolour card base first. 


I've masked it with a post-it paper because I would like to keep the area clean.


I took the pretty coffee cup and used various distress ink colours (in rainbow form) to stamp my image. I have a spare paper next to my card to do my first stamping and then stamp it on my card, I wanted the line to not be so vibrant. After that, I just watercoloured the cups with the same colour for individual stamps :D 




   




I find that creating shades in your images makes your one layer cards look more dimensional and not as flat as it sounds :) Play with your colours and create shadows and intense the dark areas to create this dimensional look.

  5. Thank you so much for sharing this idea!! I'm not very confident with water colouring and this sounds like something I can tackle. Love the effect, so fingers crossed my card will look as good as yours!!
