Hello my friends... I'm here with my card for the One Layer Instagram Hop. For the month of October, we are playing with the theme of splatter. I had a few ideas go through my head including using some of the ink splatter stamps and stencils I have... but I decided to go super old school and do some actual ink splattering using some reinkers and a fan brush. I started out by stamping my greeting and then masked it off before starting with the ink splatter.
The challenge for the One Layer Instagram Hop for this month is "Markers"... Using Copics on a one layer card requires a little creativity on the one layer idea. I stamped my floral on a card sized panel and coloured it with my Copics... I wanted to overstamp the image but I was so afraid I wouldn't get a clean stamp! I just felt like my cardstock wasn't quite in the right spot. So I didn't do it. I stamped my sentiment and then attached this panel to the front of a card. It's the same size as my folded card so it works... without doing the panel, the ink would should through the inside of my card.
Hello friends... it's time for the One Layer Instagram Hop... this month, our theme is Shimmer. I started out with masking off four panels on my card front and doing some ink blending. I splattered some Wink of Stella on the panel and when it was dry, stamped my focal image and sentiment before removing the masking. I wish my masking tape had been a little thinner to create a thinner grid between the rectangles (if that makes sense).
I'm here with my card for the Just One Layer Instagram Hop... we are challenged each month to make a card that is just one layer following a common theme. This month, our theme is stencil.
I grabbed this fabulous ink splatter stencil and created a rainbow through a portion of the stencil directly on the front of my card. I then stamped my sentiment right on top.

As a girl who loves her die cuts, a just one layer card is difficult for me. Others may not agree, but in my line of thinking, a one layer card means there is nothing raised up from your card front... so that leaves stamps and inks and not much else. So why on earth did I join this Just One Layer Instagram Hop? LOL!
For this month, our common theme is Masking... so I used some ripped low tack tape to mask off an area where I did some pretty ink blending... and added a huge floral image on top of it.
The theme for this months Just One Layer Instagram Hop is paste... I only have one paste in my stash but I was able to make it work!
I started by using a layering stencil and inks on my card front. I left one of the layers until the end and used some Stencil Butter with that layer instead of ink. Once it was dry, I stamped my sentiment directly on to the card front.
Today is the first hop of the new One Layer Instagram Hop... we are making cards that only have the base layer on them. This month, our optional theme is ink blending.
I realized as I was typing up this post that I cheated and added a die cut sentiment to my card. Whoops!
I used some washi tape to mask off parts of the card front to create my blended stripes and then stamped this gorgeous floral over top of it. I could have stamped the sentiment right on the front, but the one I liked the size of would have been lost in the floral.
