I have been a real plonker this week!
I merrily made several cards, as I thought for this week's challenge at Less is More, forgetting that it was a ONE LAYER week. You can see the cards I made by mistake at the bottom of this post!
I only remembered just before leaving for a cricket match on Friday evening, and so had to start all over when I got home at about 10pm.
The challenge is to make a one layer card incorporating a finger print or prints. Here I used my fingers to make fish! (not fish fingers).
I clear embossed the background with SU's Gorgeous Grunge stamp and clear embossed then inked with Memento Summer Sky ink. The finger prints are with Distress Ink using appropriately enough ...Salty Ocean!
I simply doodled on the scales, tails and fins etc and then stamped some bubbles from Rubbernecker stamp and added a sentiment from The Alley Way Stamps.
This is simply an embossed rectangle inked with Antique Linen Distress ink then a fingerprint in Gathered Twigs and again doodled legs and tail etc.. The repeated sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.
Here are the mistakes!
and another
and finally!

Sorry this is such a dreadful picture!
I must try harder!
Needless to say these last three are not suitable for a one layer challenge but the ideas could no doubt be adapted!
Oh so many fun cards Chrissie and you've really gone for it despite the lateness!
ReplyDeleteLove that little example card on the blog I never even thought to add pen! My brains working overtime now.

They're all fab (even the mistakes) and I LOVE the doodled birdie!
ReplyDeleteSO pleased (in a selfish kind of way) that you even made the mistake with the one layer - makes me feel better about all the times I've done it too!
As soon as I saw this week's challenge I had an idea just POP in to my head ... not sure if another will though!!

ReplyDeleteSuch fun cards and a fun challenge! Love the fish and the caterpillar....it is good to know that even you forget to make one layer designs once in a while :)
ReplyDeleteGreat selection, Chrissie and I love all your extra doodling. Fab cards x
ReplyDeleteOh, Chrissie, that made for a late night! But you quickly put things to right with your darling OLCs and now you have some more awesome cards in your stash, so it's all good. These are simply fabulous fingerprint artworks!! I've been away and hadn't seen the clever new challenge. I'm itching to think of something, but alas I need to continue my bloggie break and get some things done around here that I have been shoving under the rug. We can no longer walk on said proverbial rug as it is too lumpy, so needs must!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI think they are all super - love the finger fish!! Great idea too!
