It’s a one layer card challenge at Less is More today – a card made from a single piece of card folded in half where the image is stamped or printed directly onto the card stock. It also has no additional layers and only minimal embellishments. It can be trickier than you think, especially if you are stamping and muck up the print first go (or several goes!). One slip with the pen/ink and you have to start over. Here’s my take on the theme ‘Cheers!’:

I found a reference image via good ol’ Google and sketched it onto the card before colouring in with ProMarkers. Given that some of my pens are at least 10 years old, it was hardly surprising to find one of them was getting a bit dry giving a little streakiness to the lager. I used Sunflower, Pumpkin, Gold, Burnt Orange and the Cool Greys 1-4. Highlights with Signo Broad White pen. Outline and lettering is black pigment pen. Being a one layer card, I’m going to have to put a paper insert in it to hide the bleed-through from the ProMarkers, but that’s no biggie.
