It’s time for another challenge with Kraftin Kimmie! This week was a challenge for me, indeed. Alice has asked us to create a one-layer card. I’m not sure I’ve ever done this. And I was uncertain I’d be able to even pull it off, but I wanted to give it a whirl.
This week I’ve used Carole from the Moonlight Whispers collection. (Currently not listed on the site.)
Since I didn’t want the color to bleed through, I used the thickest cardstock I had on hand, Couture “One Sheet Wonder.” While my Copics did not bleed through to the back, it was a bit tricky blending the darker colors on the thicker, coated paper.
After stamping and coloring, I used a Copic Multi-liner (0.25) to create the stripes, then filled them in with markers. I added just a wee bit of pattern on the shirt. The red dots are adhesive, so no messy brad prongs go through to the inside. Whew. I did it. 🙂
