This week's One Layer Wednesday challenge is hosted by Cheryl. The challenge is to make a card that measures 3x3. I never make cards this size. And I never make tags. And from time to time, as I'm rushing out of the house with a hostess gift, but no tag or at Christmas when I use (gasp!) store-bought tags, I wish I did.
They are perfect for showing off smaller images, like this little panel from Magenta that I got years ago. (When I use it on a regular sized card, I usually repeat it, like I did here). I love the intensity of the colour here but you could really colour the tulips any colour you like. Not sure where that sentiment came from, but I thought it was the right scale for the card.
You can see that there is still a little bit of warp in the card after I heat embossed - that will relax over time and it will be perfectly flat. I hope.
Lovely little card w/pretty tulips. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely. Love the bright colors. Small, less than 8cm in my language... I find that a real challenge to go so small. You made it look JUST right!
ReplyDeleteYou really have the colors down on this one... spot on
ReplyDeleteI just did a card I think you will likey too!
Have a great weekend Ardyth!
Your card is just gorgeous - I love the colors and the bit of sparkle on your flowers:) Happy mothers day for sunday xx
ReplyDeleteLovely image, Ardyth, perfectly in scale with the 3x3 card. The colours and sheen are so striking! Anita :)

ReplyDeleteI haԁ a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was intereѕtеԁ to find out how you сentег youгsеlf and cleаr your thoughts prior to ωriting.
I've had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Kudos!
