Another challenge is live at Less is More. This time it is a one layer card with the theme ‘festive’. As before, one layer cards mean just that: no hiding behind layered papers or mats, perfect printing first time and minimal embellishments. Even die cuts aren’t allowed as they are an added layer. I normally paper-piece the stamp I chose to use, so that was not an option in a one layer card. Instead, I went with some colouring-in:
I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black using a stamp platform, and then again with Versamark as I then decided to heat emboss the outline with clear gloss to make it stand out a little. I then coloured in with ProMarkers adding lots of layers and then highlights with a correction pen and Posca markers. Finally, I added some stickles and liquid pearls to give a little more interest to the card.
Used for this card
- Woodware clear stamp: Huge Noel [FRS219]

Love the translucency of the letters Neil (kind of like balloons!) and your highlights and details add a lot of visual interest! Vicky 🙂
Love the graffiti of that wonderful bold sentiment. I love all of the little details of the clear embossing, layered coloring and white accents. Fabulous card. Have a safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
