Week 162 One Layer Card

We are back to One Layer Week again!

Occasionally, we get submissions which don't always adhere to our idea of a one layer card... if you are in  doubt, please check with our Guidelines which are printed at the top of our blog.

The week the subject of your 

One Layer Card

should be 

Spring Flowers

Just one card from me this week... although i had made two one went a little wrong and I didn't have the time to re-make.  For this card I used a stamp with a favourite spring flower.. the Iris.  I simply coloured the stamp with markers then stamped it onto pale grey card. The sentiment is from the same Stampin Up Set.

A quick word from Australia
We are having an amazing time and although I may not have chance to comment in all your fabulous cards, I'm peeking whenever I can. This week's submissions so far are AMAZING, I am SO impressed !

This is a digi image from Fred She Said, coloured with Distress Inks and watercolours using a water brush, with a computer generated sentiment in Andalus and Passions Conflict fonts.
I'm sorry the picture is so dreadful, it's very hit and miss with me as to whether I get a decent picture... despite Picasa editing!

My second card has an embossed  tulip border which I coloured lightly with Promarkers and gently twinkled with Glamour Dust. I think it's a Craft Too die bought at Ally Pally some time ago!

The sentiment says Debbie Moore on the side of the stamp. I positioned it using a rectangular piece of acetate from some packaging and a right angle corner made from some Duplo! A do-it-yourself Stampamajig!

ShowCASe Week 160

Showcase Week 160 Metal

The metal theme was a tough one for the LIMettes last week and but there were loads of fabulous submissions, making the selection process extremely difficult.

We're sure you'll think that our choices are rather spectacular!

Congratulations ladies!

Please take the ShowCASe badge with our thanks!

Join us tomorrow as usual for our One Layer challenge.. how quickly those weeks come round!

Week 161 - Colour

For our colour challenge this month we have chosen real Spring colours

YELLOW & GREEN

LIMettes always come up with such imaginative creations... we can't wait to see what appears!

Don't forget to keep it Clean and Simple and remember that white space!

This week's challenge does not necessarily have to be a one layer card, although we are always  happy to see them in any of our challenges.

I have a couple of cards for you today using the same ingredients, this is a fabulous stamp from Stampin Up called Blessed Easter and I have simply stamped it onto watercolour card and then coloured them in using Stampin Up Re-Inkers. I've stitched them using my trusty sewing machine.  I also made them in a couple of other colour ways and you can see these later in the week on my blog.

The use of this week's colours in this card is subtle to say the least! The delicate daisies were stamped and masked and a second stamping applied.

The colouring was done using Iced Spruce Distress Ink and a water brush with  a couple of Copics used for additional shading. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. There is a little yellow in the centre of the daisies ... honest!

This one is a digi image from Fred She Said. It's coloured with Copics and the sentiment was computer generated using Pea Roxygirl font. The border was cut with a Fiskars border punch.
