Inspire.Create. STAMPING CHALLENGES Challenge#220 Single Layer Card

 Hello and welcome to the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. Today we have been set a colour challenge. For this challenge we have to create a card using a single layer.

For my card I have used Stampin' Up!'s card and die bundle 'Ouch'. I fun get well set.

 

I always find it difficult to resist adding dimension to my projects, so I challenged myself to create the illusion of depth instead. To achieve this, I stamped my Band-Aid images onto copy paper, carefully hand-cut them, and used them as masks while stamping the remaining images. This masking technique creates the impression that the Band-Aids have been casually tipped out of their packet, naturally overlapping one another.

I have to admit, though—I broke the challenge rules just a little! Instead of stamping directly onto the card base, I stamped the design on a Basic White card front and then layered it onto a Lemon Lime Twist card base. Maybe it's bending the rules rather than breaking them, but the Basic White layer gives the design a beautiful frame which coordinates with the colourful Band-Aids. I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today and feel inspired to join in the challenge!

You can find even more inspiration from our talented design team over on the Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges website.

We’d absolutely love to see your creations—be sure to submit your projects here by 10am Sunday (UK time).
