One Layer Card

The theme this week over at Less is More is "One Layer", how difficult is this when we are so used to matting and layering, embellishing etc.

Still I've had a go

http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/2011/06/week-19-one-layer.html

I started by embossing a square using my embossing boards, I then very carefully using adirondack inks and my dusters used 4 colours to colour the background.  I then spritzed with water to help blend the colours.


Then using a Penny Black stamp and Archival Ink stamped the flower image.  When dry I used some water and a fine paint brush and took off some of the colour in the petals etc

I'm quite pleased with the end result, hope you like it.
