Today I finally got to spend an hour and a half on my craft table after many, many weeks of not being able to craft. And it felt so good! An hour and a half was just about the maximum time I could manage today, but I'm feeling optimistic that I'll be able to get that time up over the next several weeks :o)
During those 90 minutes, I created 3 one layer cards -- my favorite kind of cards to make! I played with the new stamp set that I designed: Blossom Overture (you can preview it here).
One Layer Card #1
I created my rose garden by stamping the stemmed rose several times across the bottom, masking as I went along. I used Chameleon alcohol markers to loosely color the blooms.

One Layer Card #2
For this CAS card, I colored the morning glory with Faber-Castell watercolor pencils and then used a damp brush to blend the colors.

One Layer Card #3
I used masking, one of my favorite techniques, to create dimension in this OLC. I first stamped the distressed/vintage label then masked it before stamping the big rose stamp and coloring with Chameleon alcohol markers. I added some spatters using a wet brush loaded with mustard seed Distress ink.
