Back with a card for One Layer Wednesday. This week Susan challenged us to do some ink layering on our cards. Ink layering is something I tend to do when I'm making one layer cards. I like stamping an image in one color of ink and then layering a sentiment over the image using a darker ink. But usually I just keep it to two inks. For this card I used more than just two inks.
For the card I got out two of my older PTI sets, Text Box and Spiral Bouquet. The Text Box set contains a set of rectangles that have different images on them. For my card I actually turned one of them over and inked up the flat, blank side and stamped it on the cardstock using Memento New Sprout ink. I then layered the stem from Spiral Bouquet over the rectangle using SU!'s Pear Pizzazz ink. The flower heads were stamped using SU!'s Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo. Finally, I stamped the word "Bloom" from Spiral Bouquet using Pear Pizzazz and then layered "where you are planted" over that using Melon Mambo. I really like how the card turned out.
Thanks for taking a peek....
