At The Alphabet Challenge we have reached the letter ‘N’, and Veronika has chosen the theme of ‘No Layers’. None. Zilch, Zip. Nada………
Here is my card:
I have taken a liking to stencils, particularly layering stencils. I struggle with them – I usually get some black ink on the layers somewhere – whether or not I’ve used black ink. Goodness knows where it comes from. And usually one of the colours I use ends up in the wrong place – handy for sequin placement – but this time I couldn’t use one due to being one layer.
I recently attended another virtual crafting weekend, and one of those classes was using a layering stencil, but also masking parts of that stencil to use different colours…..so I thought I’d try with this one from Simon Says Stamp.
I also decided I like to use Distress inks for smaller openings, and Distress Oxides for larger areas.
This particular stencil involved quite a bit of masking to get the different colours on the leaves and petals -those small sticky note arrow thingies work well for that – and small blender brushes too.
Hopefully you can join us in our new challenge – no layers. I look forward to seeing your creations. xx
I shall be entering the following challenges:
The Sisterhood Of Crafters – stencils
Addicted to Stamps and More – die cuts and/or stencils

You’ve created a beautiful no-layer card, just like what I had in mind for my challenge theme. I like the bright colours, and the floral motif you used in your creation – especially now that it’s getting cold and grey outside. I’ve been wondering about the creative process behind your card and I must say it looks so pretty, no matter the struggles you had behind the scenes. I admit I avoid using stencils and rubber stamps for all the reasons you’ve mentioned above, but it’s nice to see that those techniques are mastered by others.
Hugs, Veronika

Thanks very much Veronika – sometimes I like the ‘struggle’ and other times I don’t even want to try……..but this card is – as you say – bright and cheerful so I was happy to give it a go. xx
