Oh my, it´s a OLC


Hello and welcome. Today I am sharing with you a one layer card. I don´t know about you, but I find it quite difficult and challenging to make a one layer card.
The image I stamped with reddish brown pigment ink and heat embossed it with clear glitter powder. Most of the times I color my images using watercolor pencils and therefore love to heat emboss my images. 
To color the image, I first scribbled the colors carelessly because the water does the blending anyway.To make the coloring more defined and vibrant, I usually pick up additional colors directly off the pencils. When I color the hair, I kind of “flick” the brush. After the coloring was done and dried, I masked off the image (hello, Post It) and flicked some blue, green and orange spots and specks on to the background. To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment and rounded the corners.
I hope you like how my card turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs,

Jinny

Stamps used: Snorklin´ Beatrice, sentiment is from a PS stamp set (Surf and Turf)

Hallo und herzlich willkommen. Diesmal zeige ich euch eine One Layer Karte. Ich persönlich halte OLC für eine kniffelige Angelegenheit, aber dennoch wunderschön. Da ich fast immer Aquarellstifte zum Kolorieren verwende, liebe ich die „Heat Embossing“ Technik für meine Stempelabdrücke. Auch hier wurde das Motiv heat embosst und die Farben hingekritzelt. Nach dem ersten Verblenden mit Wasser nehme ich weitere Faben direkt von den Stiften, um die intensive Farbe direkt an die Pinselspitze zu bekommen. Nach dem Kolorieren habe ich mit Hilfe von Post It das Motiv abgedeckt, um ganz feine Farbkleckse auf die Kartenvorderseite zu verteilen. Zum Abschluss nur noch den Spruch hinzugestempelt, die Ecken abgerundet und fertig ist meine Karte.  
Ich hoffe, dass sie euch gefällt.
Danke fürs Vorbeischauen und ich wünsche euch einen wunderschönen Tag!

Liebe Grüsse

Jinny

Deine Karte ist toll geworden! Sehr sauberes masking. Ich finde one layer cards auch sehr sehr herausfordernd und freue mich, dass du deine Karte diese Woche mit den Daring Cardmakers teilst.
