And the POSTAGE has gone up yet again! Would you like some tips and tricks to add dimension to a one layer card?
I recently celebrated 25,000 subscribers on YouTube and I am beyond thrilled! I had a giveaway and the WINNERS of the $25 Gift Certificates are Natalie G and Amy D (I have emailed you both). And, if you would like a chance to win in my next Giveaway make sure that you are on my email list. It’s simple to join (and totally FREE), all you have to do is complete the pop-up or side-bar information for my Floral Freebie.
Now, onto today’s cards and I began with a very clean and simple Hello Beautiful flower from Altenew.
Tip 1 – Create a One-Layer Card

Tip 2 – Add Simple Shading – I used both alcohol markers and pencils to do this
Tip 3 – Stamp a sentiment directly onto the card. Today I used the Fragile Foliage Stamp Set for my greeting.

Tip 4 – Create a scene! I used the Good Day Stamp Set from Ellen Hutson but you could just as easily make this a floral or critter design.

Tip 5 – Why not add a border. I used Gina K Masking Magic Strips to add my ink blended border.
BONUS IDEA: Add some fun splatters or glitter paste / pen for something a little extra without the bulk!

ALL of this in one LIVE video which you can see here or Watch in HD at YouTube.
It was fun to create with you again today!
I hope this has been helpful and given you some ideas for adding dimension to a one layer card design. I’d love you to hear your thoughts on them in the comments below. Crafty and Inky Hugs,
