Clean and Simple One Layer Cards




I made this set of one layer, clean and simple, Stampin' Up! only cards the other morning. I am addicted to this look, at least for today. They were really easy to make, I colored directly onto the stamp with the Watercolor Wonder Crayons after I had dipped it (the crayon) in water. I used my aqua painter to blend it more if it needed it. I wanted the bumpy look of the color, kind of like tempura paint. I didn't try to spray it and then stamp, I was afraid it would be too wet for the one layer. I am going to make a set of 9 of these and then a box to house them in. I was thinking of offering a class to make these but don't know if people will think they are too simple. What do you think?

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Stamp Set: Watercolor Trio
Paper: Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Watercolor Wonder Crayons and MS Scoring Board

Have a great day!

  3. I think people would love the idea of the class. It's great to learn the technique of one layer cards as they are such an inexpensive gift to make.
