Sometimes it's a little difficult to give definition to a one layer card, but a simple technique is to dry emboss a frame. Here I used a little pierced rectangle die to surround the Blockhead stamps image. As this is image has no defined edge I think it would look a little odd by itself on a one layer card. I had to emboss from both ends as the die was slighted shorter than the image itself. I coloured the flowers with watercolours as alcohol markers show through to the inside of just one layer.
The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted. I am very fond of combining script and printed fonts for sentiments and this set does just that. It would be nice to know the name of these fonts so that I could use them on my computer!
This is my DT card for the CAS challenge at Happy Little Stampers... if you don't often try one layer cards, now might be a good time to have a go!
We would love to see you join us!
Great idea and lovely card!

ReplyDeleteHow clever is that embossed frame, really finished off the card a treat.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love the way you embossed the frame around the image and the texture of the cardstock.
