It's One Layer Card week and this week we have something fun for you...
Adapt A Fingerprint
There's a bit of a story behind the making of this card... it was very much a last minute job, as I had merrily been making cards for this week's challenge, forgetting that it was a one layer week! I remembered just before I went out on Friday evening and so had to hastily make this before I went to bed!
I stamped the lower part of the card with one of the SU Gorgeous Grunge stamps and clear embossed it. I then inked it with Memento Summer Sky Ink and then used Salty Ocean Distress Ink for the finger fishes (not fish fingers!). The bubbles stamps were from a Rubbernecker Grab Bag from Ally Pally and the sentiment is from The Alley Way Stamps.
You can see my mistakes on my personal blog!
I had so much fun making this card... I used espresso truffle memento ink for the fingerprints onto Basic Grey card stock from Stampin Up. (i still look like a suspect now as it won't budge) and then stamped the branch from Love Blossoms and the little leaves from Design A Tree (both Clearly Besotted). For the moon I punched out a circle from scrap card and then used Unicorn White Hero Art ink pad and filled it in with finger prints.
I stamped the outline images using Uniko Studio Flower Power#2 then coloured the petals with my fingerprint using Distress Inks. The sentiment is Clearly Besotted and I've added some Doodlebug sequins then pearls from my stash.
Do join in this fun one... our winner for June will be announced later in the week!
